-Stage 2-
Structural Geology
Typically topographic maps would come first, then geologic maps, and then structural geology, but since I feel it is useful to know the structures before dealing with them in map form I am doing them before the maps.
Before we start, a quick lesson on strike and dip:
-
Rock Unit - Any group of rocks with similar properties that formed about the same time
-
Strike - The direction the rock unit forms on the earth's surface
-
Dip - The direction the rock is tilted in the earth
-
The angle of the dip is the written next to the strike and dip
-
The strike and dip symbols are always perpendicular to each other
