The following materials are necessary to complete this exercise and should be available in the laboratory. The
quantities depend upon the number of students in the laboratory and whether or not students are to work
independently or in groups.

• In its entirety, the exercise covers quite a bit of material. Since few materials are necessary to work the exercise,
parts, or all, of it could be assigned for completion outside of the laboratory session.
• Many students have difficulty understanding strike and dip as well as visualizing geologic block diagrams
and/or cross sections. We recommend a brief discussion of these, perhaps with examples, before beginning the
exercise.
• Working through some of the figures, step by step, with the students may be helpful.
• For this exercise, it would be best to instruct the students to “sketch” rather than attempt to “construct” the
• Remember to inform the students that the goal is not to become a “master” draftsperson but rather to understand
Activity 8.1
5. Folds are examples of ductile deformation, while faults are examples of brittle deformation.
Activity 8.2
Activity 8.3
4. Sketch a map view, and complete the block diagram on Figure 8.9 using the guidelines provided.
Activity 8.4A
1. A = syncline B = anticline
2. Draw the appropriate strike-dip symbols on the surface of each block diagram.
3. Axial plane
4. Away
5. Toward
7. Nonplunging
8. Syncline: 5, 4 3, 2, 1 Anticline: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
12. Write the names of the geologic structures on the block diagram in Figure 8.13 — anticline on the left and
1. Draw several strike-dip symbols on Figure 8.14, illustrating a dome and a basin.
Activity 8.5
1. On Figure 8.16, write the words older or younger on the appropriate side of each fault trace.
2. Vertical
3. Dip-slip fault
5. Right-lateral fault
7. Draw arrows on both sides of the fault in Figure 8.20 B to illustrate the relative movement of each block.
Activity 8.6
2. Write the words oldest and youngest on the appropriate sedimentary rock units on Figure 8.22.
3. Younger
4. (In the central and western portions of the map the rocks are dipping toward the west and northwest, and in
the eastern third of the map the rocks are dipping toward the east and northeast); a) northwest; b) east
5. 40˚–55˚
6. The axial plane of the large geologic structure extends from the center of the south edge of the map
7. Younger
8. Plunging anticline
9. 1) the rock layers dip away from the axial plane; 2) the oldest exposed rocks are at the center of the
4. Structure shown is an anticline. The stress that produced the anticline was compression.
5. Compression
7. Left-lateral
9. Basin. The youngest rock units are in the center of the structure.

[14] We found afterwards that the caravan referred to was that
under Major Jenner, Governor of Kismayu. It is now a matter of
history how, in November, 1900, the caravan was attacked during
the night by Ogaden Somali raiders, and the camp rushed, Major
Jenner and most of his followers being murdered.
