Block Diagram Geology. To do this we will use three dimensional block diagrams that combine geologic maps with geologic cross sections. This differential weathering allows the tilteddipping limbs to be more noticeable.
Block diagram of horizontal strata showing four distinct planar layers. Fence and block diagrams it is possible to create 3d fence and block diagrams fig. The workflow presented in table 1 and in figure 12 could be automated using geoprocessing scripting with python or using add.
In the block diagram the sequence of geological events can be determined by using the relative dating principles and known properties of igneous sedimentary metamorphic rock see chapter 4 chapter 5 and chapter 6.
Students make sketches of block diagrams of structures of your choosing. We recommend building up gradually from simple structures to more complex ones. When you view a strike skip fault in cross section the side that comes towards you is labelled with a bullseye circle with a dot in the middle the side that moves away is. Block models provide a useful tool for visualizing geology in three dimensions.
