Geological map profile and cross section : Folded strata

This video deals with how to draw cross section of a geological map. HOW TO measure the dip angles convert scale draw strike lines plot the section on the journal. index This presentation elaborates identification of maps representing the folded strata. First step is to interpret the map by the help of Contour pattern and traces of beds. Cyclic repetition represents the presence of folds. In the next step a section line is chosen and profile is drawn. By determining dip amounts and direction of different traces the map is completed.
