folds faults
three categories of fundamental structures:
1) contacts--separate rock bodies
• normal depositional contacts and unconformities
• intrusive contacts
• fault contacts
2) primary structures--develop during formation of rock body
• in sediment before it becomes sedimentary rock
…cross beds, ripple marks, etc.
• in lava or magma before they become igneous rock
…ropy texture in basalt, vesicles, etc.
3) secondary structures--develop after formation of rock
• joints, shear fractures, and veins
• faults
• folds secondary are
• foliations and lineations theme of this class
• shear zones
sometimes distinguishing primary and secondary is difficult

Fold Opening vs. Age Relations
Synform: concave upward (toward the Earth’s
center) fold.
Antiform: concave downward (away from the
Earth’s center) fold.
Syncline: concave upward with youngest
rocks in the hinge of fold.
Anticline: concave downwards with oldest
rocks in the hinge of fold.
Can have synformal anticlines and
antiformal synclines!

dynamic analysis
• interprets forces, stresses, mechanics that yield structures
• explains physical and geometric character of structures,
kinematics, and relationship between stress and strain
• describes orientation and magnitude of stress and response of
material
