Joints - THE CORRECT ANSWER-A _____ is a break of natural origin
in the continuity of either a layer or body of rock that lacks any
visible or measurable movement parallel to the surface of the
fracture, form in tension in response to tectonic & thermal
stress that force the rock to extend ever-so-slightly
perpendicular to the plane of fracture. (Fractures in rock along
which there has been no movement)
Fault Movement - THE CORRECT ANSWER-can result in a breakdown
of rock on either side into various products:
Clayey Gouge - polished, striated, & grooved slikenside surfaces
Angular Fragments - known as Breccia
Veins - THE CORRECT ANSWER-filled in fractures with minerals
dropped out of solutions
, Slikensides - THE CORRECT ANSWER-are smooth, often polished
surfaces of parallel scratches or grooves. They form at fault
planes when rocks on either side scrape past each other
Shear Fractures - THE CORRECT ANSWER-form by an ever-so-slight
sliding or shearing movement parallel to the plane of fractures;
there is no tensional opening; they are common in the rocks
that have been folded and faulted ie. Slikenlines and veins
How Do Planar Cracks Occur? - THE CORRECT ANSWER-in families or
sets of parallel through-going features
Fundamental Secondary Structures are? (7) (JSFCFLS) - THE
CORRECT ANSWER-J - JOINTS
S -SHEAR FEATURES
F - FAULTS
C - CLEAVAGE
F - FOLIATION
L - LINEATION
S - SHEAR ZONE
The stresses that create secondary structures are commonly
related to regional deformation and are formed in sed. or
igneous rocks after lithification and in metamorphic rocks
during/after their formation
Fundamental Primary Structures - THE CORRECT ANSWER-Developed
during the formation of a rock body;
