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.
On the map in Figure 6.21, write the word oldest where the oldest sedimentary rock unit is exposed at the sur-face and the word youngest where the youngest sedimentary rocks occur.
Discussion Question: Glacial (or Ice) and Periglacial Landscapes A+ The Ice and Glaciers chapter focuses on the Cryosphere, the ice on our planet. 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. Amazingly enough, in place number three is groundwater before lakes and streams. Water has led to many problems in the history of California, the United States, and even the world.
