A Little Quiz...
1/ Slide 3 shows: A/ a Syncline, B/ an Anticline, C/ a Monocline?

2/ What is the geometry of the folds on slide 3.

3/ Slide 5 shows a folded quartz vein.  What would you say about the depth at which this folding developed.

4/ What are main the differences between a syncline and an anticline?

5/ Are the axial trace of a fold and the fold axis the same thing?

6/ What is the difference between asymmetrical folds and overturn folds?

7/ What folds have horizontal axial planar surfaces?

8/ A sub-vertical fold is a fold with A/ a vertical axial planar cleavage, B/ a sub-vertical axial trace, C/ a  sub-vertical fold axis, D/ sub-vertical beds?

9/ A steeply inclined fold is a fold with A/ a steeply dipping axial plane, B/ a steeply dipping fold axis, C/ a steeply deeping axial trace, D/ steeply dipping beds?

10/ What plane reveals the true geometry of folds?

11/  How can geologists say that they are dealing with superimposed generation of folds.

12/ What is a crenulation cleavage?

13/ Give a mechanism (beside crenulation) that leads ot the development of axial planar cleavage.

14/ What is the cleavage/bedding relationship at fold hinges?

15/ What is the cleavage/bedding relationship along a limb of an isoclinal fold?
