This worksheet guides students through identifying fault types and building a physical model to visualize tectonic stress.

- Print and color the fault model on page 5 using the provided coloring key.
- Cut out the colored fault model, avoiding the shaded tabs. Fold each side down to form a box with drawn features on top, then glue or tape the tabs together.
- Carefully cut along the dashed lines to separate the model into two pieces, representing a fault in Earth’s crust layers.
- Take a selfie with your completed model to verify completion; submission without proof results in a zero.
- Use the model to create three different fault types (normal, thrust, strike-slip) and answer the questions on pages 2–4.
