Record your answer from Lab Exercise #2, Step 5, Question 1. What type of fold is created from the deformation of the rock layers?
Anticline
Which type of fault motion stress causes a thrust/reverse fault to move?
Compression
Record your answer from Lab Exercise #1, Step 14, Question 2. What type plate boundary would be related to this type of fault?
Convergent boundary
The angle expressing the amount of incline between a tilted rock bed and a horizontal plane is called the bed's
Dip
Temperature often affects whether a substance will break or ooze. Taffy is an example of a substance that is brittle when cold but _____________ at room temperature.
Ductile
are bends in the rock strata and generally represent the ductile response of rock strata to compression within the earth's crust.
Folds
Rock has a response to stress similar to that of taffy. Crust that is close to the surface and cooler is more likely to be brittle and to break when stressed. Increase the pressure, however, and the rock will heat up, becoming ductile. Under heat and pressure, it will change its shape rather than break. Both brittle and ductile responses to stress are evident in
Mountain Ranges
Whether it is steel and aluminum, cookie dough, cheese, or paper, few substances stay the same when under stress; the response of a substance to stress is called
Strain
The orientation of a line of intersection between a horizontal plane and a tilted rock bed relative to true north is called the bed's
Strike
Record your answer from Lab Exercise #2, Step 7, Question 1. What type of fold is created from the deformation of the rock layers?
Syncline
Which type of fault motion causes a normal fault to move?
Tension
What is your answer from Lab Exercise #1, Step 11?
The stream would flow into the road.

They appear on the inside of the fold.
Record your answer from Lab Exercise #2, Step 5, Question 2. Where on or within the fold are the youngest rocks located in this type of fold?
They appear on the outside of the fold.
