On Figure 12.20, page 218, identify the features associated with an evolving shoreline, using the following terms spit, wave-cut cliff, beach deposits, baymouth bar, wave-cut platform, tombolo, sea arch, longshore current, and sea stack (Note -Terms may be used more than once )

Figure 12.20 Illustrations and images of changes that can take place, through time, along an initially irregular coastline that remains tectonically stable.

Draw a cross section with a tree growing out of Earth’s surface (so I know which side is the surface). Add a dipping joint and label the hanging wall and footwall blocks. Draw a second cross section (again with a tree on the surface of the Earth) that shows how Earth’s surface would be offset along this joint if it turned into a normal fault. Label the hanging wall and footwall and use arrows to indicate the motion of the hanging wall relative to the footwall. Now draw a third cross section with all the same elements as in parts A and B, but for a trust/reverse fault.  Imagine the same cross section either in three dimensions, or in a bird’s-eye view from top down. Draw what this area would look like after a right-lateral strike-slip fault. Label the strike of the fault and use arrows to show directions of movement
Examine the strike and dip of the rock units on the Devil's Fence geologic map in Figure 6.21. Draw multiple large arrows on the map, pointing in the direction of dip on several rock units. Do the rock layers located near the center of the map in Section 14 dip toward the northwest or southeast? The same rocks in Section 14 are also found in Section 18. Do the rocks in Section 18 dip toward the east or west? What is the approximate angle of dip of the units in Section 18?
1. Draw a dashed line representing the hinge line of the large geologic structure that occupies most of the map. Label the hinge line. 2. Are the rocks getting older or younger farther from the hinge line? 3. Is this geologic structure a plunging anticline or syncline? 4. Provide two lines of evidence that support your answer to Question 8.
