Question 1

(SHAPE AND FORM OF A PARTICULAR STRUCTURE)
PLANAR, CURVIPLANAR, LINEAR SURFACE.

Answer 1

GEOMETRY-

Question 2

CLASSIFIED BASED ON THE FFG:

Answer 2

GEOMETRY-
BASED ON GEOLOGIC SIGNIFICANCE
BASED ON TIMING OF FORMATION
BASED ON PROCESS OF FORMATION
BASED ON MESOSCOPIC COHESIVENESS DURING DEFORMATION
BASED ON STRAIN SIGNIFICANCE
BASED ON DISTRIBUTION IN A VOLUME OF ROCK

Question 3

FORMED A CONSEQUENCE OF THE FORMATION PROCESS OF THE ROCK ITSELF.

Answer 3

PRIMARY-

Question 4

FORMED BY INJECTION OF UNCONSOLIDATED MATERIAL DUE TO SUDDEN
RELEASE OF PRESSURE

Answer 4

FLUID-PRESSURE DRIVEN-

Question 4

FORMED DUE TO LOCAL LATERAL VARIATIONS IN ROCK
DENSITY, CAUSING LOCAL BUOYANCY FORCE.

Answer 4

LOCAL DENSITY-INVERSION DRIVEN-

Question 4

FORMED DUE TO SLIP DOWN AN INCLINED PLANE; SLUMPING AT ANY
SCALE DRIVEN BY LOCAL EXCESS OF GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL.

Answer 4

LOCAL GRAVITY-DRIVEN-

Question 4

FORMED DUE TO LITHOSPHERIC PLATE INTERACTIONS, DUE TO REGIONAL INTERACTION
BETWEEN THE ASTHENOSPHERE AND THE LITHOSPHERE, DUE TO CRUSTAL-SCALE OR LITHOSPHERIC
SCALE GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY AND THE TENDENCY OF CRUST TO ACHIEVE ISOSTATIC
COMPENSATION.

Answer 4

TECTONIC-

Question 5

FORMED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE MATERIAL THAT WILL ULTIMATELY FORM THE
ROCK.

Answer 5

SYN-FORMATIONAL-

Question 6

FORMED BEFORE THE FULL LITHIFICATION BUT AFTER INITIAL DEPOSITION

Answer 6

PENECONTEMPORANEOUS-

Question 7

FORMED AFTER THE ROCK HAS FULLY FORMED, AS A CONSEQUENCE OF
PHENOMENA NOT RELATED TO THE IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT OF ROCK FORMATION.

Answer 7

POST-FORMATIONAL-

Question 8

RELATED TO DEVELOPMENT OR COALESCENCE OF CRACKS IN ROCK.

Answer 8

FRACTURING-

Question 9

RELATED TO THE SLIP OF ONE BODY OF ROCK PAST ANOTHER, OR OF
GRAINS PAST ONE ANOTHER, BOTH WHICH ARE RESISTED BY FRICTION.

Answer 9

FRICTIONAL SLIDING-

Question 10

RESULTING FROM THE DEFORMATION BY INTERNAL FLOW OF CRYSTALS WITHOUT
LOSS OF COHESION, OR BY NON FRICTIONAL SLIDING OF CRYSTALS PAST ONE ANOTHER

Answer 10

PLASTICITY-

Question 11

RESULTIING FROM MATERIAL TRANSPORT EITHER SOLID-STATE OR ASSISTED BY A
FLUID (DISSOLUTION)

Answer 11

DIFFUSION-

Question 12

FORMED BY LOSS OF COHESSION ABROSS A MESOSCOPIC DISCRETE SURFACE.

Answer 12

BRITTLE-

Question 12

FORMED WITHOUT THE LOSS OF COHESION ACROSS A MESOSCOPIC DISCRETE
SURFACE.

Answer 12

DUCTILE-

Question 13

INVOLVING BOTH BRITTLE/DUCTILE ASPECTS.

Answer 13

BRITTLE/DUCTILE-

Question 14

RESULTING IN SHORTENING OF A REGION

Answer 14

CONTRACTIONAL-

Question 15

RESULTING IN EXTENSION OF A REGION

Answer 15

EXTENSIONAL-

Question 16

RESULTING FROM MOVEMENT WITHOUT EITHER SHORTENING OR EXTENSION

Answer 16

STRIKE-SLIP-

Question 17

OCCURS THROUGH THE ROCK BODY AT ALL SCALES.

Answer 17

CONTINUOUS-

Question 18

OCCURS THROUGHOUT THE ROCK BODY AT THE SCALE OF OBSERVATION; UP
CLOSE, THERE MAY BE SPACES BETWEEN THE STRUCTURES.

Answer 18

PENETRATIVE-

Question 18

CONTINUOUS OR PENETRATIVE STRUCTURE OCCURS ONLY WITHIN A DEFINABLE
REGION

Answer 18

LOCALIZED-

Question 18

STRUCTURE OCCURS AS AN ISOLATED FEATURE.

Answer 18

DISCRETE-
