Question

. (6 pts) Examine the map and the ages of the rock layers. Based on your interpretation, label the structures and add appropriate symbols to the map to show the axis of the folds. What kind of folds are present in this area

Answer 1

Upper layer is anticline and lowe layer is syncline.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Geologic maps are used to show the distinct surface features of varying ages. By drawing a cross-section of the rocks its can be seen that rocks that are in upper strata are anticline and are younger than older rocks at the bottom which are syncline in nature. Monoclinal folds are found in this type of area.
