Document Summary
Oldest layer lies in the core of the fold. Youngest layer in the core of the fold. Types of folds based on limb and axial position with respect to the horizontal. Discontinuities or separation in rocks that can range in size from micro to macroscopic to regional resulting from brittle deformation. There is no movement between blocks relative to each other. There is displacement between the blocks relative to each other. The surface or axis of actual separation in rocks with noticeable displacement. Angle of deviation of fault plane from the horizontal. The line describing the intersection of a fault plane with the horizontal. Based on relative movement of walls and inclination. The downward movement of the hanging wall or the upward movement of the foot. The upward movement of the hanging wall or the downward movement of the foot. Low angle of dip of the fault plane.
