What is the dip of each fault ?

What type of faults are these?

What is the strike of the faults?

Which fault moved last?
 

2. GEOLOGICAL CROSS-SECTION

1. Draw a profile for the adjacent map between points A and A'

Neatly color in the different geological units.

a. Are there any patterns that emerge?

b. What type of contacts are on the map?

c. Are they sedimentary or tectonic?

d. How could they be formed?

2. Draw a topographic cross-section.

What vertical scale will you use?

Hint: Use a vertical exaggeration = 2.

3. Mark the geological contacts along your profile

4. Place the contacts with the correct apparent dip

5. Interpret and draw the subsurface geology based on the surface geological map and your calculations in the previous steps.

5. Create a Geologic History for the map.

Remember to put a horizontal scale bar, show the orientation of the profile, legend, title, and indicate the vertical exaggeration. The geological profile must be handed in on tracing paper and inked in. Hand in all your work.. Due date is March 19, 1998 at 3.00 p.m.
