Ductile deformation

This section deals with folds which are one of the main products of ductile deformation. The two presentations: 'Introduction to folds' and 'Terminology of folds' cover some practical aspects necessary to work with folds and the describing folds exercise gives the chance to practice them.

You can see a fold in 3D in the indoor mapping exercise and take measurements from it and then plot them on a map.

In addition to these set activities all the answers are available as PowerPoint presentations so that you can change them to suit your own needs and all the seismic images are available as A4 printouts.
