Dip slip fault a - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

What is the apparent dip of a bed? - ANSWER-Apparent dip of a bed or plane is the inclination of that bed or plane in a direction not perpendicular to strike. What is a fold line and how is it used? - ANSWER-The fold line is a hinge line along which a vertical cross section may be constructed and then flattened out to a horizontal or map view. It is used to represent the subsurface along any given line in a map view. It need not be perpendicular to strike. What is the angle and side relati...

What does it mean when you have topographic contours on a 1:24,000 scale base map that are roughly circular and have hachures on the counters? - ANSWER-They represent a closed depression You have a base map at a scale of 1:6,000 and you need to represent the information you obtained during a field investigation of a site that is one square mile, that included mapping of your site as well as subsurface exploration results. What do you need to do to the map to make it work? - ANSWER-Use a large...
