Question

This symbol is from a geologic map. What does the number 15 represent?

number of faults in the area

age of the rock in millions of years

the steepness of the rock's incline

Answer 1

the steepness of a rocks incline

Answer 2

the steepness of the rock's incline

Step-by-step explanation:

• The geologic map represents the physical distribution of different types of rocks and the surficial deposits and hence the location of the geologic structure as folds and the faults.

• Given in the triangle, an angle of 15 degrees or slope shows us he steepness of the rocks that occurs along a fault plane and more the steep is the rock the more is the inclination upwards.
