Answer
Anticline and Syncline
Step-by-step solution
2 stepsMatch symbols to rock types from the legend.
Granite (A): speckled or dotted pattern.
Gneiss (B): foliated or wavy parallel lines pattern.
Massive limestone (C): uniform shading, no internal structure.
Dykes: narrow, straight intrusive bands cutting across other rocks.
Label regions on the map accordingly:
-
Speckled areas → A
-
Wavy foliated areas → B
-
Uniform areas → C
-
Thin cross-cutting bands → Dykes
-
Identify types of structures (folds) with symbols on the map.
The map shows strike-dip lines curving around fold axes.
Anticline: convex upward, dips away from axis on limbs.
Syncline: concave upward, dips toward axis on limbs.
The two types of folds are anticline and syncline.
