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.

I always find it interesting to consider the Earth's Hydrologic Cycle, our water in all of the different phases: solid ice, liquid water, and water vapor (a gas). In place number one for the majority of the World's water, we have the oceans. In place number two, we have ice. Neither one is available to us for drinking water at this point.

- Los Angeles's demand for water exceeds the amount of water available. There are no other new sources of water available, so Los Angeles is planning on constructing the high technology facilities necessary to produce drinking water from treated municipal wastewater (i.e. "Toilet to Tap"). Public perception (i.e. the "yuch! factor"), not well established, proven technology, to accomplish this task, is going to be the big problem. Develop a five (5) item marketing plan to convince the "beautiful" people of Los Angeles that drinking water that is recycled sewage that exceeds all U.S. EPA drinking water standards. This can be done because as Slide 63 shows, doctors once were used to sell Lucky Strike cigarettes - "Your throat protection: against irritation, against cough". Cigarettes, as is now known are harmful to your health while the drinking water produced from sewage is of equal quality and in many instances higher quality than your existing drinking water.arrow_forwardRead June 17, 2023, editorial from the Wall Street Journal entitled "Biden's Fishy Plan to Breach the Snake River Dams.
