Deformation and Structure Lab Report
Please record your responses in a
color other than black or red
.
Part 1: Block diagrams, cross-sections, and maps
1.
The name of the deformation feature you put into your block
What kind of deformation (ductile or brittle) and what kind of tectonic
force (compression, extension, or shear) would produce this kind of
deformation feature?
Fold and Tilting. Ductile with compression tectonic forces.
2.
The topography you used
Cliff.
3.
Click on "3D" (top left, next to the print button) to view the block in 3D;
take a screenshot and
paste it onto your lab report
.
4.
Click on "2D" (just to the right of "3D") to turn the block into a map; take a
screenshot and
paste it onto your lab report
.
5.
Lastly, click the "Explore" tab and choose "Cross-Section". Pick two points
on your block to generate a cross-section through the block along that
profile; take a screenshot of this as well and
paste it onto your lab report
.

Deformation and Structure Lab Report
Part 2: Squeeze box simulations
1.
What layers were used in the dry compression in video 1.1?
Sand, Baking Soda, Sand, Baking Soda, Coffee, Sand.
2.
What type of deformation occurs in the first compression of the squeeze
box in video 1.1? Give a name for the structure and either a drawing or a
labeled screenshot.
Brittle.
3.
Regarding video 1.2, what types of deformation do you observe? Give a
name for the struc
ture and either a drawing or a labeled screenshot.
Ductile.
4.
Which tectonic forces are exhibited in video 1.3? (extension, shear,
compression?)
Compressional forces.
5.
Regarding the relief of pressure in video 1.3, what types of deformation do
you observe? Give a name for the structure and either a drawing or a
labeled screenshot.
Ductile, on the left side and brittle on the right.
6.
In video 1.4, what is different about the way that they apply tectonic force
compared to the other three videos?
It uses a conveyor mechanism instead of a wall force pushing against the sediment.
7.
Regarding the structures that form in video 1.4, what interesting
observation do they find about the directions/angles of the faults?
They are all relatively similar and make a pattern and increases in a straight 10-degree slope.
8.
In video 1.4, some reverse faults form pointing the opposite direction from
the main set of faults (these are called "back-thrust faults"). This is a real
thing that happens in areas of tectonic compression. Take a screenshot
that shows one of these and label it.
