Strike-Slip Fault
Activity Model
Model the San Andreas Fault - without leaving your classroom!
 Provide a realistic simulation of how changing plate boundaries can cause earthquakes! Easy-to-use, acrylic model allows you to graphically depict how opposing geologic forces can cause rock to break and move horizontally, forming strike-slip faults. As your students maneuver the two halves of the model in opposite directions, they'll see how such movement impacts the Earth's surface. They'll observe the development of a network of slip faults and fissures as well as the deformation of sediments as the boundary plates slide past each other. Although the demonstrations take only minutes, they represent tens of millions of years. Includes support base with rails, bisected acrylic tank and colored sands as well as complete teacher and student guides including a variety of easy-to-perform demonstrations and experiments. Size: 15 3/4" L x 11 3/4" W x 1 3/4" H.
