Fault Model (Diastrophism)
Multi-Part Segmented Block Design: Enables student-led manipulation of crustal blocks to simulate horizontal and vertical displacement, supporting the "Analyze" level of structural geology curricula.
High-Contrast Color-Coded Stratigraphy: Provides clear visual markers for measuring stratigraphic throw and heave, facilitating quantitative assessment in fault-geometry modules.

Quick answer: The Fault Model (Diastrophism) demonstrates how rock layers fracture and shift along a fault line under tectonic stress, giving students a physical reference for a core structural-geology concept.
Diastrophism refers to the deformation of the earth’s crust, and faulting is one of its most visible outcomes – rock layers break and are displaced relative to each other along a fracture plane. A fault demonstration model lets students see this displacement directly rather than relying only on cross-section diagrams, reinforcing lessons on earthquakes, crustal stress and structural geology. It pairs naturally with other deformation-focused teaching aids covering folding and broader tectonic processes.

Care & Handling
- Keep away from direct sunlight and damp conditions to preserve model materials and labelling.

- Wipe down with a soft, dry cloth; avoid solvents on printed or layered surfaces.
Why Choose LabEquip
LabEquip’s structural-geology range covers the main ways the earth’s crust deforms, so this model works well as part of a connected set rather than in isolation. Related aids include our Fold Model (Demo Model) for bending-based deformation, our Fault Folding Demo for a combined view, and our Plate Tectonics model for the driving forces behind faulting. Browse the full range in our Educational Science Models category.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a fault model demonstrate?
It shows how rock layers fracture and shift relative to each other along a fault line under tectonic stress.
How is this different from a fold model?
A fault model shows rock breaking and displacing, while a fold model shows rock bending without breaking.
What does the product include?
Exact contents and whether parts are movable are not specified for this listing – confirm the details with our sales team.
What grade level is this suitable for?
Suitability by grade level is not specified for this listing – please confirm with our sales team based on your curriculum.
How should this be cared for?
Keep it away from sunlight and moisture, operate any parts gently, and store it where it won’t be crushed.
Does this pair well with other geology aids?
Yes – it complements fold models, plate tectonics and other structural-geology aids used in an earth-science classroom.
