Lab 4 Individual Assignment (1)_AdamBarbour

Name: Adam Barbour Student ID: 20339898 PART B: Go to the website: http://app.visiblegeology.com/ . This site allows you to add beds, intrusions, folding, faulting, etc., to a three-dimensional block and manipulate it in space to better understand the orientation of structures. Go through the six exercises below, and answer all questions as directed. From the home page, click on ‘Visualize’ to get started. Click on "Fullscreen" for best results while working on the models. In the CREATE GEOLOGY tab: a. Select the ‘Geologic Beds’ option. Add six beds by clicking the "NEW" icon 6 times to fill the block. It doesn’t matter what the beds are. b. Exit this menu and select the ‘Tilting’ option. Tilt the beds to a dip of 20  (leave the strike at 000  ). You need to click "Add New Tilting Event". c. Exit this menu and scroll down to the ‘Dikes’ menu, and add a dike with a Strike/Dip of 115/50. You need to click "Add New Dyke". d. Exit this menu and in the ‘Fault’ menu add a fault at 000/70. You need to click "Add New Fault". e. Exit this menu and use the mouse to explore in 3D your geological creation Under the ‘Explore’ tab, select the ‘Strike Decal’ menu. The view rotates so that you are looking down at the "Map View" (the ground surface). Using the cross hairs and a mouse click add three strike and dip markers at the contacts between the tilted beds, for the dike, and for the fault. Exit this menu. Using the "3D" and the "2D" icons on the top left bar of the window switch back and forth between these view (2D = Map View) and understand how the decal tells you the orientation of the plane for each case. Take a screenshot of the block with the three strike and dip decals for the different planes and take a second screenshot of the block from an oblique angle to show the layers, fault, and dike. Insert these into a WORD file for your submission (be sure to label the figures). Label the fault as either "normal", "strike-slip" or "reverse" as appropriate. PART C: The BACK button on your browser should take you back to the beginning and reset the model. Click on VISUALIZE again to being a new model. a. Fill the block with six beds again. b. In the ‘Folds’ menu, add a folding event at 000  N/90  ("rake" = 0). Select "Add new folding event". c. Exit this menu and use the mouse to explore in 3D your geological creation Add strike and dip decals on either side of each unit in the 2D view. Understand how the decals switch directions as the fold switches from being an anticline to a syncline. Capture the same views as before. On the 2D Map View, Add the labels "Youngest" and "Oldest" to the appropriate rock units by overlaying a TEXT BOX on your image in the WORD FILE.

Use single short answers in your submission to answer Part E.1-3 PART E.1: Provide an estimate of the strike and dip of the black dike shown in the figure below. __strike=51, dip =52________________________ PART E.2: What kind of fold is this (arrow)?
