a) How could two/three new or existing fractures simultaneously form (under perfect ideal conditions) and/or move under these conditions. (fig B) b) What are the resolved normal and shear stresses on the faults and what angle do they make to ơ1 (draw sketch). c) mark faults on cylinder of rock (left below) orientations where fractures cannot either form or slip.

Problem IV An orthogonal system of fractures/discontinuities is measured along a horizontal profile that is 20 m long and a vertical profile that is 5 m high. There are 40 vertical fractures meeting the horizontal profile of which seven have an aperture of 0.1 mm, six an aperture of 0.2 mm, four an aperture of 0.3 mm, eight an aperture of 0.4 mm, five an aperture of 0.5 mm, three an aperture of 0.7 mm, three an aperture of 0.8 mm, two an aperture of 0.9 mm, and two an aperture of 1.0 mm. There are ten fractures meeting the vertical profile of which four have an aperture of 0.1 mm, three an aperture of 0.2 mm, two an aperture of 0.4 mm, and one an aperture of 0.5 mm.
