Classification of folds (continue) Based on four main features or properties: 1 direction of closing and facing 2 attitude of axial surface 3 size of inter-limb angle, and 4 shape of profile 5 dip isogons
Extensional Fault Systems A- Evolutionary model illustrating progressive extension accommodated by block rotation above a low-angle extensional fault. B-Listric fault with hangingwall rollover anticline. Area and B are equal. C-Flat/ramp geometry of fault produces geometrically necessary folding in hangingwall
Force Force is a kind of mechanical action between different objects, it tends to change the shape, volume or movement state of the object with a force upon it. Force is a vector quantity, and thus possesses both magnitude and direction; it can be represented by an arrow whose length specifies the magnitude and whose
Structural Geology- Introduction Introduction Structural geology is the study of deformed rocks, and rock deformation. In structural geology, we are faced with a series of natural features that we try to interpret and explain. Each of these features formed through the interplay of external forces on rock materials, and the \local \conditions at the time of deformation. To interpret structures in the natural setting we need to
Brokenback feature in Wyoming. Interpret the fracture pattern using your o 1. The following map shows the principal azimuths for fractures measured on th knowledge of joints and joint systems. Prepare a written(1 paragraph) analysis detailing the \joint system\these fractures may represent. Be sure to include a discussion of your evidence in support of your conclusion
