GEOLOGIC STRUCTURES

• “Architecture of bedrock”• Structural Geology-

– shapes, – arrangement, – interrelationships of bedrock – units & forces that cause them

Behavior of rocks to stress & strain

• Elastic– Elastic limit

• Plastic• Brittle Stress

Strain

Structures as a Record of the Geologic Past

• Geologic maps and field methods– Observations of outcrops– Geologic map– Strike and dip

• Original horizontality• Strike• Angle of dip• Direction of dip• Symbols

– Geologic cross section

FOLDS

• Anticline vs. syncline– Hinge line (axis)– Limb– Axial plane

• Plunging fold• Structural dome• Structural basin

Fractures in rock• Joints

– Columnar jointing– Sheet jointing– Joint set

• Faults– Dip-slip faults- normal and reverse

• Footwall vs. hanging wall

– Normal fault• Graben; Rift• Horst ; fault-block mountain range

Fractures in rock

• Faults– Reverse fault

• Thrust fault- low angle reverse fault

– Strike-Slip fault• Left-lateral vs. right-lateral
