    This document describes an experiment to model how faults form in the Earth's crust. The experiment involves placing sand between two cardboard sheets and making parallel lines in the sand. When the sheets are slowly moved sideways, a fault line is formed in the sand at the boundary between the sheets. The parallel lines in the sand are offset along the new fault line. The experiment demonstrates how the rocks on either side of a fault are displaced during an earthquake, resulting in a visible break or irregularity in the geological strata.

    Attachment # 1
    Experiment #1
    A fault-y setup

    Objectives: To describe the appearance of a fault and explain how a fault form

    Materials:
    two sheets of cardboard (or folder)
    fine sand
    Ruler
    newspaper (or plastic sheet ) as wide as a newspaper page

    Procedure:
    1. Spread the newspaper on a table. Do the activity on the newspaper.
    2. Arrange the two sheets of cardboard edge to edge (Figure 1).

    Figure 1. Cardboard sheets placed side by side.

    3. Pour sand along the boundary of the two sheets (Figure 2).

    Figure 2. Sand along the boundary.

    4. With the ruler, flatten the top of the sand and make two parallel lines.
    Figure 3. Top of sand flattened.

    5. Now, move the sheets slowly in the direction shown in Figure 3

    Guide Questions:
    1.As you move the sheets, what is formed in the sand?
