Map Patterns of Layered
Rocks: Horizontal & Tilted Rocks
Horizontal Layered Rocks
- Cross-sectional view
- Map Patterns & map symbol
in absence of topography
- Map Patterns in presence of topography
- Gauging thickness in horizontal
layers (elevation)
- Some simple exercises
Tilted Layered Rocks (Homoclines)
- Cross sectional view
- Strike of Bedding
- Dip of Bedding
- Dip direction & age progression
(no overturning)
- Map Patterns and symbols in the
absence of topography (after complete erosion)
- Map Patterns in the presence of
topography, principle of V's)
- Gauging thickness in tilted rocks
(why thickness may be exaggerated).
- Some simple exercises.
Vertically Tilted Layered Rocks
- Cross sectional view
- Strike of Bedding
