Review sessions: Wednesday night from 8:30 - ? in room 142.
Again, on all questions, a diagram may help in answering, but may not be enough alone to receive full credit unless it is adequately explained.
1. What is an anticline?
2. What is a syncline?
3. What is an antiform?
4. What is a synform?
5. Be able to draw and identify the correct strike and dip from a block
diagram (similar to the structure lab).
6. Draw a normal fault, labeling the footwall and hanging wall as well
as the sense of motion on the fault.
7. Draw a reverse fault, labeling the footwall and hanging wall as
well as the sense of motion on the fault.
8. Draw a strike-slip fault. Make sure you know the difference
between a left-lateral and right-lateral strike-slip fault (and how to
show that difference on a diagram).
9. Where are the oldest rocks found in an anticline?
10. Where are the youngest rocks found in a syncline?
11. What is a quaquaversal fold?
12. Are folds the result of crustal shortening or stretching?
13. Are both synclines and anticlines the result of compression?
14. Which type of fault is more common in areas of folded rocks - a
normal fault or a reverse fault AND why?
15. What is a dome?
16. What is a basin?
17. What is the dominant stress associated with normal faults?
18. What is the dominant stress associated with reverse faults
19. What is the dominant stress associated with strike-slip faults?
20. What is meant by map view?
21. Be sure to be able to draw the map view of a dome, basin, anticline,
and syncline.
22. Identify an anticline that is plunging.
23. Identify a syncline that is plunging.
24. Be able to label the strike and dip of a fault.
25. What is base level?
26. List the various types of stream drainages.
27. What is stream capacity?
28. What is stream competency?
29. What are the three (3) methods in which a stream transport's material?
Explain each.
30. Be able to label and explain Hjulstorm's diagram.
31. What are a cut bank and point bar?
