Types of Faults

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This set of black-line diagrams of the three different types of faults can be used with your upper elementary earth scientists. Simply have them color the layers to show where the land once lined up. Another use for this resource would be to display it on your whiteboard as you are teaching about faults in Earth's crust.
