Quarter 1 – Module 8:
The Folding and Faulting of
Rocks Part 1
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Earth and Life Science – Grade 11 Alternative Delivery Mode
(ADM) Module on The Folding and Faulting of Rocks Part 1.

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by

educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or
facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum
while overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also
aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the learner:

Welcome to the Earth and Life Science – Grade 11 Alternative Delivery Mode

(ADM) Module on The Folding and Faulting of Rocks Part 1.

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often

used to depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create

and accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a

learner is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies

and skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful

opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You

will be enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while being an active

learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

this module.

The following are some reminders in using this module:

1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of the

module. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.

2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other activities

included in the module.

3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.

4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your answers.

5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.

6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
 If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not
hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are
not alone.

We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning
and gain deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

The folding and faulting of

There are phenomena going on at the Earth's flooring and they can virtually
be explained by what is taking place in the indoors of the Earth.

 What’s New

Analysis of Theories, Concepts and Principles

1. Explain the relationship between folding and faulting.
2. Differentiate folding and faulting.
3. When do folding and faulting occur?

What is It

Faults structure in rocks when the stresses overcome the interior electricity

of the rock ensuring in a fracture. A fault can be defined as the displacement of once

connected blocks of rock alongside a fault aircraft Diastrophic tactics folding and

faulting happen when stress deep inside the lithosphere purpose the earth’s floor to

buckle, bend and even split apart. Fold mountains show up from the place where the

crust is pushed up Colliding plates he crust to push upward in fold.

The difference between folding and faulting is that folding is the pressure of

converging plates inflicting the crust to fold and buckle, ensuing in the advent of

mountains and hills. On the other hand faulting is where cracks in the earth's rock

are created due to the fact of distinct movement of tectonic plates

Folds and faults have a monetary significance. Anticlines and horsts are

accurate web sites for all accumulation forming oil reservoirs, whereas, synclines

and grabens are appropriate for water accumulation forming aquifers or groundwater

basin a sector so they should be avoided or put in mind in any construction. Faults
then represent zones suitable for upward leakage of either lava forming or dykes or

groundwater-forming springs

Folding and faulting reflect the impact of the internal strength of the earth.

Consequently the standards of folding and fault characterize a kind of earth's

capability for stability.

What I Have Learned

Based on the objectives stated previously, answer the following questions:

1. Differentiate folding from faulting.

2. What are the different types of folding and faulting?

3. How do pressure and temperature affect the movement of the fault?

4. How do faults and folds formed?

What I Can Do

Write an essay on how the folding and faulting affect our daily life. Here is the rubrics
on how your output will be checked.

What I Have Learned
1. The difference between folding and faulting is that folding is the pressure of
converging plates causing the crust to fold and buckle
2. Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Isoclinal, Overturned, Recumbant and Chevron
/ Strike Slip, Fault Scarp, Normal Fault and Revers Fault
3. As the temperature of a solid, liquid or gas increases, the particles move
higher rapidly. As the temperature falls, the particles gradual down. If a liquid is
cooled sufficiently, it varieties a solid. If a liquid is heated sufficiently, it kinds a
gas. Pressure Effects Changes in pressure have very little have an impact on on the
quantity of a liquid.
4. Folding occurs when rocks are compressed such that the layers buckle and
fold. Faulting occurs in compression if a force is applied too quickly for the rock to
fold (given the strength of the rock, noting that the strength of the rock generally
decreases the hotter it gets), instead it breaks.
What’s New
1. Folding and faulting are both caused by stress in the Earth's crust exceeding
the strength of the material.
2. The difference between folding and faulting is that folding is the pressure of
converging plates causing the crust to fold and buckle
