This week will build and draw geologic structures that are the result of crustal deformation. Please read chapeter 11 in your textbook, Crags, Cracks, and Crumples: Crustal Deformation and Mountain building.
Click here for a great visual tour of geologic structures from a geologist from Missouri State. The site even includes 007 music.
You should be familar with the following terms:

Dip Slip faults
Strike-slip faults

In lab we will consturct major geologic structures using play-doe. You will then be asked to draw the structures in map view and cross-section. Therefore -
