Table of Contents

Part 1 Horizontal and dipping strata: contours, section drawing, vertical exaggeration; dip, structure contours, construction of structure contours, section drawing; true and apparent dip; calculation of thickness of a bed, vertical and true thickness; width of outcrop; inliers and outliers. Part 2 Three-point problems: construction of structure contours; insertion of outcrops; depth in boreholes. Part 3 Uncomformites: overstep; overlap; sub-uncomformity outcrops. Part 4 Folding: anticlines and synclines; asymmetrical folds, overfolds and isoclinal folds; similar and concentric folding; two possible direction of strike.
