PROBLEM 4.4
72 Faulting

PROBLEM 4.5

Determine the attitude (dip and dip direction) of the fault. Find the dip separation, throw, heave, vertical separation
Draw a cross-section along the line XY. and strike separation of the fault.
Give a name to this fault.
 Faulting 73

PROBLEM 4.6

The map shows a fault (dashed line) which displaces a coal
seam.
Determine the dip of the fault and of the coal seam.
Construct the hanging wall and foot wall cut-off lines for
the coal on the map and determine their plunge.
Draw a cross-section along a line at right angles to the
strike of the fault.
Determine the strike separation, dip separation, throw,
heave and the vertical separation of the fault.
Shade the parts of the area where coal can be encountered
at depth. How is the heave of the fault important with
respect to the areas underlain by coal?
82 Unconformity

PROBLEM 5.1

Construct a cross-section for the line XY on the map.

Shade the regions on the map where the coal seam does not
exist at depth..
 Unconformity 83

PROBLEM 5.2

Study the map and identify an unconformity. (The line Draw a subcrop map of the formations which underlie the
labelled f is a fault line.) unconformity.
What type of unconformity is it? Discuss the age and movement on the fault.
84 Unconformity

PROBLEM 5.3

Determine the net slip of the fault. What name is given to Why does the fault appear not to displace the
this type of fault? unconformity?
Identify an unconformity on the map and determine the Draw a subcrop map of the rocks below the
dip of the surface of unconformity. unconformity.
