  • Strike and Dip Refer to the Orientation Or Attitude of a Geologic Feature. The
    Name__________________________________ 89.325 – Geology for Engineers Faults, Folds, Outcrop Patterns and Geologic Maps I. Properties of Earth Materials When rocks are subjected to differential stress the resulting build-up in strain can cause deformation. Depending on the material properties the result can either be elastic deformation which can ultimately lead to the breaking of the rock material (faults) or ductile deformation which can lead to the development of folds. In this exercise we will look at the various types of deformation and how geologists use geologic maps to understand this deformation. II. Strike and Dip Strike and dip refer to the orientation or attitude of a geologic feature. The strike line of a bed, fault, or other planar feature, is a line representing the intersection of that feature with a horizontal plane. On a geologic map, this is represented with a short straight line segment oriented parallel to the strike line. Strike (or strike angle) can be given as either a quadrant compass bearing of the strike line (N25°E for example) or in terms of east or west of true north or south, a single three digit number representing the azimuth, where the lower number is usually given (where the example of N25°E would simply be 025), or the azimuth number followed by the degree sign (example of N25°E would be 025°). The dip gives the steepest angle of descent of a tilted bed or feature relative to a horizontal plane, and is given by the number (0°-90°) as well as a letter (N, S, E, W) with rough direction in which the bed is dipping.

Read through it all first to find out what you need to do. List all of your answers on these pages and attach any constructions, tracing paper overlays, etc. Put your name on all pages. 1. One way to analyze brittle faults is to calculate and plot the infinitesimal shortening and extension directions on a lower hemisphere, stereographic projection. These principal axes lie in the “movement plane”, which contains the pole to the fault plane and the slickensides, and are at 45° to the pole. The following questions apply to a single fault described in part (a), below: (a) A fault has a strike and dip of 250, 57 N and the slickensides have a rake of 63°, measured from the given strike azimuth. Plot the orientations of the fault plane and the slickensides on an equal area projection. (b) Bedding in the vicinity of the fault is oriented 37, 42 E. Assuming that the fault formed when the bedding was horizontal, determine and plot the original geometry of the fault and the slickensides. (c) Determine the original (pre-rotation)orientation of the infinitesimal shortening and extension axes for fault. 2. All of the following questions apply to the map shown on the next page. In all of the rocks with cleavage, you may assume that both cleavage and bedding strike 024°.

Greenhalgh All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Along Strike Variability of Thrust-Fault Vergence Scott R. Greenhalgh Department of Geological Sciences, BYU Master of Science The kinematic evolution and along-strike variation in contractional deformation in over- thrust belts are poorly understood, especially in three dimensions. The Sevier-age Cordilleran overthrust belt of southwestern Wyoming, with its abundance of subsurface data, provides an ideal laboratory to study how this deformation varies along the strike of the belt. We have per- formed a detailed structural interpretation of dual vergent thrusts based on a 3D seismic survey along the Wyoming salient of the Cordilleran overthrust belt (Big Piney-LaBarge field).

Accommodation of penetrative strain during deformation above a ductile décollement Bailey A. Lathrop* and Caroline M. Burberry* DEPARTMENT OF EARTH AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-LINCOLN, 214 BESSEY HALL, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA 68588, USA ABSTRACT The accommodation of shortening by penetrative strain is widely considered as an important process during contraction, but the distribu- tion and magnitude of penetrative strain in a contractional system with a ductile décollement are not well understood. Penetrative strain constitutes the proportion of the total shortening across an orogen that is not accommodated by the development of macroscale structures, such as folds and thrusts. In order to create a framework for understanding penetrative strain in a brittle system above a ductile décollement, eight analog models, each with the same initial configuration, were shortened to different amounts in a deformation apparatus. Models consisted of a silicon polymer base layer overlain by three fine-grained sand layers. A grid was imprinted on the surface to track penetra- tive strain during shortening.

    PLANE DIP and STRIKE, LINEATION PLUNGE and TREND, STRUCTURAL MEASURMENT CONVENTIONS, THE BRUNTON COMPASS, FIELD BOOK, and NJGS FMS The word azimuth stems from an Arabic word meaning "direction“, and means an angular measurement in a spherical coordinate system. In structural geology, we primarily deal with land navigation and directional readings on two-dimensional maps of the Earth surface, and azimuth commonly refers to incremental measures in a circular (0- 360 °) and horizontal reference frame relative to land surface.

The dip is the slope of a geological surface. There are two aspects to the dip of a plane: (a) the direction of dip , which is the compass direction towards which the plane slopes; and (b) the angle of dip , which is the angle that the plane makes with a horizontal plane (Fig. 2.3). The direction of dip can be visualized as the direction in which water would flow if poured onto the plane. The angle of dip is an angle between 0 ° (for horizontal planes) and 90 ° (for vertical planes). To record the dip of a plane all that is needed are two numbers; the angle of dip followed by the direction (or azimuth) of dip, e.g.
