ReviewExercise
NOTE
The questions in the exam review are NOT comprehensive. This exercise is designed to remind
you of some of the most important things to know about structural geology, geologic time,
geologic maps,and plate tectonics, but youmust study more than what is in this exercise to be
successful.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this exercise is to help you review the fold and fault skills you should have
learned from Chapter 6.
