MAP - South Dakota-Wyoming/Black Hills (See Figure 14.2 in the lab)
1. What geologic structure is represented here? Explain.
2. Where are rocks within the structure dipping the most steeply? How did you determine that?
3. Draw a generalized version (a rough drawing) of the map view of this structure and place at least 8 strike and dip symbols on it.
4. Draw a geologic profile along line E-E'.
MAP - Southeastern United States (See Figure 14.3 in the lab)
5. What is the general strike of the Paleozoic rocks (striped pattern)?
6. These rocks are what? a. horizontal, b. uniformly tilted, c. folded into anticlines and synclines.
7. What is the structure in the upper left-hand corner of the map?
8. Coastal Plain sediments are covering the basement rocks in the southern portion of the map. In what direction do they dip?
