Deformed Crust
1. Normal fault
2. Reverse fault
3. Thrust
4. Monocline
5. Graben
6. Horst
7. Lateral fault
8. Anticline
9. Syncline
10. Assymmetrical fold
11. Isoclinal fold
12. Recumbent fold
When the rocks of the crust are subjected to the stresses of Earth movements, they deform. This Deformation ca be in the form of cracks, called faults - compressional, giving lateral faults.
Folds may have been formed by quite gentle movements, in which case each fold will be several kilometres in extent, or by very intense pressure giving a highly deformed terrain
