Here is Ben’s interesting graphical take on the word “Geology.” The straight-line extension of the letter “l” in the word represents a fault. The curved continuation of the “y” descender represents a layer or rock. It is broken by the fault. Geologists in the know will recognize that it is a reverse fault, also called a “thrust fault,” because the same layer on the left side of the fault — the “hanging wall” — has moved upward relative to the right side.
