Answer

Anticline and Syncline

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Match 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

  2. 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 ↷↶\curvearrowright \curvearrowleft on limbs.

    Syncline: concave upward, dips toward axis ↶↷\curvearrowleft \curvearrowright on limbs.

    The two types of folds are anticline and syncline.
