10.5 Essay Questions

1) Explain the role confining pressure will have on rock strength and how the rock will deform

under pressure.

2) What are the four factors that influence rock strength? Describe how they will affect the rock

when it is under stress.

3) The Appalachian Mountains were formed when the North American continent collided with

Africa over 250 million years ago to form the supercontinent Pangaea. What sort of structural

features would you expect to find in this region? Explain your answers.

4) There is a campground at Big Bend National Park in Texas that is called The Basin due to the

fact it is in a structural basin. However, The Basin is a topographic high for the region. How is

this geologically possible? Propose a scenario that might account for this.

5) Despite not seeing the severe tectonic forces of the Rocky Mountains, the interior states of

Illinois and Michigan have basins (the Illinois and Michigan Basins). However, these basins

formed in a different way. Explain how the Illinois and Michigan Basins formed without

significant tectonic influence.

6) Over the course of the last couple of centuries, major businesses all over the world have spent

a great deal of time and money searching for and studying structural geologic features. They

search for these structures in order to extract an economically important resource from them.

Which companies would be most interested in such structural features? How would they use

them? How would these structures trap the substances these companies are interested in?

7) The Basin and Range Province is a geologic region in the American Southwest characterized

by a series of north-south trending faults. Describe the structural development of the Basin and

Range Province, making sure to comment on the forces involved.

8) Compare and contrast thrust faults and reverse faults.

2)

Assume that the square accompanying this question is being subjected to differential stress. How

will the size or shape of this square change? (Please draw your answer below.)

3)

Using the metamorphic rock visible in this image, explain the deformation history of the rock.

Make sure to comment on environmental conditions present.

4) Draw a basic symmetrical fold. Label the hinge line and the limbs. Indicate with arrows the

direction(s) compressive force was coming from to create this fold.

5)

Using this image, indicate which is the hanging wall and which is the footwall.

6)

What feature, evidence of dip-slip activity, is shown in this image?

8)

What kind of fault is present in this image? (Be specific.)

9)

Based on the strikes and dips visible in this image, what kind of geologic structure is present?

10)

The accompanying image shows the geologic map of the Black Hills Uplift in western South

Dakota. This area represents a structural dome. Indicate the dome on this map by drawing

appropriate strike and dip symbols.
