Faulted And Tilted Strata A-B Section

sketchfab

Second year Earth Science students at UoN are presented with a surface map of this region but no structural information is provided. They must calculate the dip and strike of the strata and faults using structure contours, then construct a cross-section through the center (the front face of the model shown here). The topographic surface represents an area approximately 3.6 × 3.5 kilometers in size (scale 1:20,000). Initially, the view is directed toward the northeast corner of the map area. Contour intervals are 100 meters apart.
