GEO1010 Activity on Structural Geology

1). Draw in the cube a layer that has a strike of N30W, that dips towards the W and that has a dip angle of 40.
Put the symbol for strike and dip on the map view.

2) Which type of fault is the one below?

3) The cardboard model 6 shows a fault that strikes due west and dips 45 to the north. Three sides of the diagram
are complete but the east side is incomplete. Finalize the model. At point I, draw a strike and dip symbol showing
the orientation of the fault. On the west edge of the block, draw arrows parallel to the fault, indicating relative
motion. Label the hanging wall and the footwall. Complete the east side of the block. Draw arrows parallel to the
fault, indicating relative motion. Now look at the geologic map at points II and III. Write U on the side that went
up and D on the side that went down.

Is the fault in this model a normal, a reverse fault, right lateral or left lateral fault, or oblique slip fault? Why?

Could the same offset along this fault have been produced by strike-slip motion? Explain why.
