Physical Geology Helpful Lab Hints

Structural Geology

Exercise 15, Problem 4:

See the annotated image here for a guide to the features of the map and its key.

a.  Back to page 267.  Since you do not have a cross-section, you will need to use the ages of the rock layers to determine the type of structure.

b.  See the map.

c.  Remember lab 14?  An answer you used there (twice, I hope) will help you here..

d.  This is easy, given the map key, but if you weren't...(hint: try the lab book on page 248 & 249)

e.  Find Edgemont on the map, see which rock unit is present, look at the key for a hint on what lies beneath.

Back to lab 14&15 help.
