Question

Limbs The _______ is the location where a bedrock layer is folded. anticline The sides of a folded bedrock layer are the _______. strike The two sides of a fold in a _______ dip toward one another. syncline The two sides of a fold in a _______ dip away one another. dip The _______ will point in the direction in which the rock layer slants. axial plane The _______ is parallel to the direction of a fold crest and trough. When geologists are mapping, they will make many strike & dip measurements as they explore an area. In most cases we will not have access to outcrops that data for the larger region and infer the structure from the map pattern. A simple hypothetical map labeled with strike & dip symbols is given below. Use the symbols provided.

Explanation / Answer

The axial plane is the location where the bedrock is folded most. The sides of a folded bedrock are the limbs. The two sides of a fold in a syncline dip toward one another. The two sides of a fold in an anticline dip toward one another. The dip will point to the direction the rock layer slants. The strike is parallel tto tge crest an trough.
