Problem 1
What is tectonic stress? Explain the main types of stress.
Problem 3
What is a geologic structure? What are the three main types of structures? What type(s) of rock behavior does each type of structure reflect?
Problem 4
At what type of tectonic plate boundary would you expect to find normal faults?
Problem 5
Explain why folds accommodate crustal shortening.
Problem 7
Draw a cross-sectional sketch of a normal fault. Label the hanging wall and the footwall. Use your sketch to explain how a normal fault accommodates crustal extension. Sketch a re verse fault and show how it accommodates crustal shortening.
Problem 9
In what tectonic environment would you expect to find a strike-slip fault, a normal fault, and a thrust fault?
Problem 14
Draw a cross-sectional sketch of an Andean-type plate margin to a depth of several hundred kilometers.
