2. Domes and basins are similar to anticlines and synclines,
respectively, in that domes contain younger strata in the
core of the structure, whereas basins contain older strata in
the core of the structure. FALSE
3. It is defined as lowest elevation point on a folded geological
surface. Trough
4. A compass direction measured in degrees clockwise from
north. Azimuth
5. Answer the question as shown in the illustration below.
Hingeline
6. For plunging anticlines, the “V” made by curved contacts in
map view points away from the plunge direction. FALSE
7. Angle measured between a line and the strike of the plane
that contains the line. Pitch/Rake
8. Fold is a stack of originally planar surface, such as
sedimentary strata, that are bent or curved during permanent
deformation.
9. The spatial orientation of a geometric feature. Strike and
Dip (Di sure)
10. Cretaceous is the youngest period in the geological time
scale. FALSE
11. Brunton Compass as patented in the year 1987 by Brunton
Inc. of Riverton, Wyoming.
12. Linear Structures can be defined by their pitch/rake on
a given plane.
13. Take a sheet of paper and fold in it half. On the folded
sheet of paper, visually determine the locus of all points of
maximum curvature. Consider the folded sheet of paper to be
a 3-meter thick granite layer that covers a 1 square kilometer
region, the locus of all maximum points or curvature on a
folded layer is termed the hingeline.
14. An antiform or synform is described as symmetrical if
the angles between each of limb and the axial plane are
generally similar, and asymmetrical if they are not. TRUE
15. What kind of geological structure is represented by this
map symbol? Overturned folds
16. This factor in geological mapping shows the correct
distance between a point in the projection’s center and points
across all directions away from it. Equidistant
17. In an anticline layers of Earth material converge in
what direction? Upward
18. /
19. Using the Dip-line and plunge method, what is the plunge
of the traditional strike and dip of 300, 65 SW. 65
20. In the map view of a non-plunging fold will have
straight, parallel contact lines between stratigraphic units.
TRUE
21. It is a branch of mechanics concerned with the response
of rock to the force fields of its physical environment. Rock
Mechanics
22. Index Lines are the contour lines and are usually labeled
with a number at one point along the line.
23. This shows the petrological characters and structural
disposition of rock types which gives an idea about the
availability of materials for construction. Geologic Maps
24. What kind of geological structure is represented by this
map symbol? Anticline
25. Defined as an exposure of a solid rock on the surface of
the earth. Outcrop
26. Using the Dip-line trend and plunge method, what is the
trend of the traditional strike and dip of 300, 65 SW. (in
degrees). 210 (di sure)
27. For plunging anticlines, the “V” made by the curve
contacts in map view points in the plunge direction. TRUE
28. The geological period abbreviation in geological maps
shall be written in small letters. FALSE
29. Answer the questions as shown in the illustration below.
Fold Limb
30. It gives the direction and amount of plunge of the plane
Dip
31. Plunging folds have the same relationships as non-
plunging folds except that the axial trace symbols have an
arrow that points in the direction of the plunge of the hinge
of the fold. TRUE
32. In a syncline layers of Earth material converge in what
direction? Downward
33. What is the strike of the first plane using the right
hand rule method? (in degrees). 195
34. Answer the question as shown in the illustration below.
Axial Surface
35. It is the azimuth direction line formed by the
intersection of horizontal plane and the plane of intersect.
Strike
36. When inclined beds cross a stream valley the contact
will form a “V” pointing opposite to the dip direction. False
37. In right hand rule, the strike azimuth could be to any
quadrant. TRUE
38. It is the inclination of a plane measured in vertical
plane trending perpendicular to strike. True Dip
39. Answer the question as shown in the illustration below.
Synclines
