In Map 19 (next page) the outcrops of beds A, B, C are only shown north of Fault F that has a throw of 200 meters. Draw strike lines for the lithological boundaries north of the fault and then extend them across the fault to complete the outcrop traces of beds A, B, C on the south side of the fault. Determine the angle of plunge of the folds by using the bedding plane attitudes you obtain from the map and plotting them on an equal area net to arrive at the fold axis (assume cylindrical folds). Also construct a fold profile using methods from lab 4. Use a fold line perpendicular to the hinge line trace, passing through the NW corner of the map. Then undo distortion the profile due to hinge plunge using the grid method.

Question
In Map 19 (next page) the outcrops of beds A, B, C are only shown north of Fault F that has a throw of 200 meters. Draw strike lines for
the lithological boundaries north of the fault and then extend them across the fault to complete the outcrop traces of beds A, B, C on
the south side of the fault. Determine the angle of plunge of the folds by using the bedding plane attitudes you obtain from the map
and plotting them on an equal area net to arrive at the fold axis (assume cylindrical folds). Also construct a fold profile using methods
from lab 4. Use a fold line perpendicular to the hinge line trace, passing through the NW corner of the map. Then undo distortion the
profile due to hinge plunge using the grid method.
