Concepts
You should be able to give short answers to the following questions:
1.) Discuss the characteristics and development of the domainal structure of cleavage.
2.) Discuss the factor important to the development of crenulation cleavage using a series of diagrams and brief explanation (See Figure 8.29)
3.) Be able to use the geometrical relationship between axial planar cleavage and bedding to determine facing direction. (See Figure 8.5)
4.) Given a rock sample identify the type of cleavage that is present.
5.) Discuss the factors important to the development of passive folds using a series of diagrams and brief explanation (See Figure 8.40)
6.) Discuss the factors important to the development of "psuedostratigraphy" as a result of transposition during passive folding using a series of diagrams and brief explanation (See Figure 8.42 and Figure 8.44)
