Faulted And Tilted Strata A-B Section

3D Model

Second year Earth Science students at UoN are presented with a surface map of this area but no structural data. They are required to calculate dip and strike of the strata and faults using structure contours, and then construct a cross-section through the centre (the front face of the model here).

The topographic surface represents and area of approximately 3.6 × 3.5 kilometres (scale 1:20,000). Initial view is looking toward the northeast corner of the map area. Countour interval is 100 metres.
