Rotate these blocks to see how this fault is different from the previous fault type you saw.  On the worksheet (Ft-4), briefly describe the differences between left-lateral and right-lateral faults.  If you were hiking along the top of a layer outdoors and it ended at a right-lateral fault, which way would you look to find the layer on the opposite side of the fault?  Does it matter from which direction you began hiking?
