5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the definition of 'fault strike'?
Think about the orientation of the fault relative to the ground.
What does 'fault dip' measure?
Consider how steep a fault is.
What does the term 'strike' refer to in geological faults?
Remember, it's about orientation, not depth or time.
True or False: A fault zone can contain several closely spaced faults.
Think about how different faults can be in a small geographical area.
Consider an earthquake that has a fault with a dip of 70 degrees. Describe how a structure built nearby might be impacted by the fault motion. Discuss what engineers should consider while designing the structure.
Focus on the relationship between steep angles and potential structural impacts.
You are tasked with creating a map of a fault zone that intersects a city. What steps would you take to identify and record the characteristics of strike, dip, slip, and fault trace? Provide a methodology.
Think about how each measurement contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the zone.
