Faults Quiz

A  Chevron is the name of the man who developed the first oil rig

B  Chevron is a V shaped fold so it is a good place to drill

C  Chevron is the place where people first discovered oil

D  Chevron is a type of plankton associated with oil

A  Folds tie back to plate boundaries so fossils get metamorphosed to oil there

B  Folds tie back to plate boundaries so oil cannot be located there because the pressure destroys it

C  Folds destroy oil so they never drill there but next to them

D  Oil flows to the center of the fold so they drill the center

A  Sedimentary, igneous

B  Oldest, youngest

C  Youngest, oldest

D  Igneous, sedimentary

E  Heaviest, lightest

A  Angled, straight

B  Away, towards

C  Towards, away

D  Right, left

E  Left, right

A  They are likely anywhere

B  Paleo and active divergent boundaries

C  Paleo and active transform boundaries

D  Paleo and active convergent boundaries

A  Left lateral strike slip

B  Normal

C  Reverse

D  Right lateral strike slip

E  Thrust

A  The motion is always right on one side and left on the opposite side so it depends where you are orientated to the fault

B  In a left-lateral strike slip fault the motion is to the left and in a right lateral strike slip fault the motion is to the right

C  In a left-lateral strike slip fault the motion is appears to be to the right and in a right lateral strike slip fault the motion is appears to be to the left

D  In both faults the motion is to the right because right motion is dominant

B  Thrust

C  Detachment

D  Foot wall

E  Strike slip

A  Jointing breaks and moves while faulting breaks without moving

B  A fault is when rocks lock into each other and jointing is when the rocks break

C  Jointing is when rock attached while faulting is when rocks break

D  Faults break and move while joints break without moving

A  Strain is a force

B  Strain is the earthquake itself

C  Strain is the stress a rock undergoes

D  Strain is the deformation caused by a force

A  Stress is the earthquake itself

B  Stress is a force

C  Stress is the deformation caused by a force

D  Stress is the strain a rock undergoes
