The photograph above shows a huge rock block sticking out of a road cut because the block has slid along a fault plane. Rock slide along a fault (Photograph by Robert Whisonant) If faults move suddenly, they generate earthquakes.Faults can also provide potential surfaces along which rocks can slide. This picture was taken in Tazewell County. Iron stains on the rock indicate that water has flowed out of this fault exposure. The photograph above shows how groundwater has moved through rocks along a fault. Groundwater along a fault (Photograph by Rober Whisonant)įaults are important for groundwater storage and movement. Faults are important because, like joints, they create surfaces along which fluids (such as oil or water) can travel.The above photograph shows a strike-slip fault in Virginia. Strike-slip fault in the field (Photograph by Stan Johnson) Strike-slip fault (Diagram by Phyllis Newbill) Strike-slip faults are caused by lateral shear stress. If rock blocks slide past each other in a horizontal direction, the fault is called a strike-slip fault.Geologic Structures (Part 4) Strike-slip Faults
