Concepts

You should be able to give short answers to the following questions:

1.) Discuss the develop of regional folds by "Free Folding". What factors are important (see buckle theory)? Look at figure 7.81.

2.) Discuss in stages the development of a Fault Bend Fold, including the factors that determine the geometry of the fold. Study carefully Figure 7.83.

3.) Discuss in stages the development of a Fault Propagation Fold, including the factors that determine the geometry of the fold. Study carefully Figure 7.84

4.) What is a monocline? What are some of the proposed mechanisms to produce these regional scale structures?
