(Tilted)
Strata and
resulting
landforms

1
Layers are
tilted (or
they dip)
because of
various
crustal
forcessuch as
volcanic
activity or
folding and
faulting

 Homoclinal ridge

A Homoclinal
ridge
(asymmetrical)
has a steeper
scarp slope and
a more gentle
dip slope

Dip slope Scarp slope
The homoclinal
ridges are
classified
according to the
angle

Cuesta: The
layers dip by 10 -
25˚
Homoclial ridge:
The layers dip by
25 - 45˚
Hogsback:The
layers dip more
than 45˚
