SHEARING



Example Type:
Earth Structure

Information:
Location:
Record Date: 08.22
Season: Summer
Elevation: 260 Feet

Notes:
See how the ground looks like sheets of rock that have been pushed up? This happens in areas of active Earth movement. The rock at the surface is pushed up and broken as the ground underneath twists. This example could be near an earthquake fault where there was a thrusting type of movement.
