What is this folding landform (centered about N 25.654985° E 65.899059°)? What
tectonic stress generated this landform?
If you are using Google Earth an eye altitude of 16km allows you to see the entire
feature. Then, you can zoom into the sedimentary strata. Llook on the eastern side (N
25.614662° E 65.969555°) and the western side (N 25.661090° E 65.850259°) to
analyze the dip and the strike of the folded layers.
This anticline was generated by regional compression.
This monocline was generated by regional extension.
Correct!
This syncline was generated by regional compression.
This graben was generated by regional extension.
This
syncline
is in Pakistan in a desert region that allows you to see the folded rock structures with
minimal vegetation. This
syncline
was selected because it was hoped that you could visualize how
to eastern side strata dipped down to the west and the western side strata dipped down to the east.
