Banana benders - simulating folding and faulting

Following the last post about fault structures, have you tried 'Banana benders; using a banana to simulate geological structures'?

 

There is an accompanying video clip.

This simulation could be used in any lesson where deformation of rocks is being discussed, whether small-scale, in a hand specimen or rock exposure, or large-scale as in mountain building.

Other related ELIs can be found in our 'Deformation - folding and faulting' category.
