Re: Geologic Mapping C

Almost!

1. High temperature is right!
2. It's actually igneous (igneous rocks are denser, which means they're heavier, which would create more pressure and thus lead to ductile deformation)
3. Low strain rate is actually more conducive to ductile deformation than high strain rate, as quick and ...

Re: Geologic Mapping C

In each of the following pairs, state the one that would be more likely to experience ductile deformation and explain why:

Rock at Low/High temperature

Rock under a 10m Igneous/Sedimentary layer

Rock experiencing a Low/High strain rate

Rocks rich in Feldspars/Micas with a Low/High water content

Re: Geologic Mapping C

I did this problem by drawing it out as opposed to just doing the math so my answer might be off.

Strike: N57°E, Dip: 11.2°NW, Thickness: 1.18 km
