Aerial view of a deep, barren brown canyon in arid hills, with tilted and folded rock layers in its dark slopes and a pale dry riverbed winding below, under a cloudy sky. — Folded Early Cretaceous rocks in the Andean forearc Ambrosio Vega Ruiz

Large smooth, tilted grey rock face along a gravel forest road, with a person examining its base and a parked blue car and another person further along, under tall conifers. — Large scale slickenside at the Muránska planina Plateau (Western Carpathians, Slovakia) Ondrej Pelech

Person in a purple shirt with arms raised in a V beneath a wedge-shaped dropped block in a cliff of red-brown and cream layers, the layers offset along two faults that meet below. — A typical graben and horst Mohammad Goudarzi

Tall roadside cutting in layered sediments, pale green and orange-brown bands offset in steps along several inclined fault lines, beside a road under dark stormy clouds. — A Beautiful Normal Faults Hossein Barkhordari

Wide flat plain of green and brown fields stretching to the horizon, seen from a height with a few buildings, a palm tree and a line of trees in the foreground, under white clouds. — Cultivated soils of the Guadalquivir valley from the Carmona plateau (SW Spain) Antonio Jordán

Close-up of a rock face where white and pink crystals of calcite surround grey and dark red rock fragments, beside a yellow tape measure showing about 45 centimetres. — Fault acting as a pathway for hydrothermal fluid that precipitated large pink calcite crystals along the way Ieva Kaminskaite

Rock cliff face of dark jointed rock with orange-brown patches under a grassy slope with scattered trees, beside a road and green field. — Everyone can find a fault, few can do better Antonio Jordán

Long, smooth pale band of freshly exposed rock along the base of a grey limestone cliff, above a grassy scree slope, with two people in blue standing beside it for scale. — M.Vettore fault (Sibillini mountains - Central Apennines) Nicola Morgantini

Tall, smooth, near-vertical pale rock wall streaked with grooves, rising from a sandy slope with tufts of dry grass and footprints under a clear blue sky. — The Wall in Southern Crete Asimina Voskaki

Tall cliff of pale yellow gypsum layers alternating with green and red shales, crossed by white veins and offset by a sloping fault, with several people at its base for scale. — Sea level change and tectonics collide Dan Killam

Snowy slope with dark boulders in the foreground, overlooking layer upon layer of blue mountain ridges and valleys filled with haze, under a faintly pink sky. — The valley along the fault Cyril Mayaud

Large crater with steep walls of orange, cream and grey layers, its floor dotted with shrubs, under a deep blue sky with mountains in the distance. — A Slice of Local Geology Tobias Keller

Grey layered rock face with beds tilted from two sides meeting in a wedge-shaped structure, mossy and overgrown, a geological hammer placed on the rock for scale. — Yet another triangle zone David Tanner

Aerial view of grey volcanic plain cut by long parallel cracks and a small sunken strip between faults, the shadow of a helicopter on the ground and a white plume rising from red lava far behind. — Faulting above a dyke intrusion Morgan Jones

Huge steeply inclined rock face in pink, red and cream, its smooth surface streaked with fine parallel grooves, with a dark green conifer and an orange plastic fence at its foot. — Slipsiding Away David Tanner

Close-up of a grey salt mine wall with wavy white layers, offset in small steps along a few diagonal fault lines, with orange paint marks. — Salt Faults David Tanner

Tall cliff of brilliant white quartz sand crisscrossed by many yellow fault and fracture lines, under a blue sky, with a person in a dark coat standing at the foot for scale. — Faults in Quartz Sands David Tanner

Wall of layered yellowish sand where the beds bend sharply into a hooked fold beside a curved fault, with a blue-handled trowel stuck in the face for scale. — Harpoon David Tanner

Close-up of layered yellowish sand where thin beds curve steeply down against a curved fault cutting through the face, with a small hollow at bottom left. — Rollover Structure David Tanner

Rock face of grey, moss-patched shale and sandstone beds tilted in opposite directions, meeting in a triangular wedge of steep folded layers, with a hammer at the foot for scale. — Triangle Zone David Tanner

Dry rugged valley of tilted grey rock layers and terraced slopes, with a small red-roofed church in the middle, pine trees in front and a cloudless blue sky. — Skyward Seafloor Hannes Koopmann

Snow-capped mountains with grey and rust-coloured slopes streaked by landslide scars, above a dark forested shoreline and calm greenish-grey water under a blue sky with small clouds. — Fairweather fault Jean-Daniel Champagnac

Thin-section micrograph of a pale, rounded feldspar grain wrapped in curving dark and light bands of fine-grained rock, cut and slightly offset by straight diagonal cracks. — Broken Rolling Philippe Hervé Leloup
