A} - CLEMSON
3. Shearing - correct answer the top and bottom are sliding in opposite directions
-TRANSFORM boundary
Responses to Stress - correct answer Brittle: apply force -> breaks
Ductile: apply force -> bends
Responses to stress depend on... - correct answer rock type, temp/pressure, speed of
deformation (how fast was the force applied (faster=brittle))
,Folds - correct answer a bend in rock that forms where part of Earth's crust is
compressed, ductile response
-can be huge or tiny
-tend to occur in groups
hinge - correct answer the point at which the layers fold
limb - correct answer the chunk of rock on either side of the hinge
1. Shape (cross-section view) - correct answer road-cut view = cross section
-look at fold, see the shape
Antiform - correct answer buckled upward
Synform - correct answer buckled downward
,Overturned - correct answer overturned antiform or synform
-pure in between = overturned
2. Age of Layers Relative to Each other - correct answer anticline and syncline
Anticline - correct answer old layers in the middle
syncline - correct answer old layers on the outer rim
3. Geometry - correct answer *cross section tells you nothing now*
-you need to see from above or perpendicular cross section
horizontal fold - correct answer from above, you only see stripes
, plunging fold - correct answer compression and tipping
joints - correct answer brittle response to force (fractured)
-occur in groups
-vertical or horizontal
-very common structure
faults - correct answer brittle response, rock fractures are MOVING
-inches to 100s of miles
-classified by slip direction
1. Dip-Slip Fault (vertical) - correct answer Hanging wall and foot wall
Normal fault - correct answer Hangin goes down, foot goes up
