Using the V-shaped outcrop running along the ridge, the rocks dip to the a. 3 points. [ NNE | NEIE|ESE | SE | SSE ] b. The local climate is humid temperate ("warm" and comparatively "wet").

Explanation / Answer

ANSWERS:

PROBLEM 2.

QUESTION 4.

a) the rocks are dipping in the SE direction. Because if you create a 2D projection of the map you will find/draw the V with the watergap/ the route towards the SE, most probably that is down the valley. Now as per the rule of V, in this case, the rock will be dipping towards the valley slope or towards SE direction with more dip amount than valley dip/slope.

b) if the climate of the area is warm and wet, the rock should be sandstone. Because it is more resistant than shale. The rock will not limestone, in that case, due to water flow the should have flown away by the solution of water and lime. If it is shale, due water flow, the rock should have swell more, then there must not be the presence of that kind of well developed V-shaped valley.

question 5:

a) the dot is on the dip slope side of the hogback.

b) the rock is striking towards E direction. The dip of the hogback generally strikes parallel to the crest of the ridge.
