Push and Pull Fault Diagram Model

March 7, 2025
Description
Moveable Fault Diagram Model - Fault diagrams are visual representations that help geologists and others understand the geometry and movement of faults. This model provides a hands-on learning experience about fault movement. By physically manipulating the outer sections, you can directly observe the effects on the central area. The three parts slide together for simple assembly with sliding joints. It's designed for both single-piece printing with an AMS for color changes, or separate printing and assembly.
EarthScope Consortium has a page showing how you would use this model in a lecture. https://www.iris.edu/hq/inclass/video/faulting__folding_foam_faults_demo
