A polydeformed metamorphic rock contains two mineral lineations that lie on the
same foliation plane. The first is oriented 14°,N10°E. The second is oriented
58°,S58°E.
(a) What is the attitude of the foliation plane on which these lineations occur?
(b) What is the rake of each lineation in the foliation plane?
(c) What is the angle between the lineations as measured in the plane of foliation?
A slip lineation on a fault plane has a rake of 68°NE. The fault is oriented
N52°E,83°SE. What is the plunge and bearing of this lineation?
For the asymmetrical folds, do the ax
nh is steeper and/or overturned)?
