Interpreting faults on a map

Part of The Shear Zone Channel. This video is a demonstration of cross-section construction and interpretation of a geological map with faults - including running commentary and explanation. The map is available to download (and try yourself) via the Shear Zone website - linked from the header bar for this channel (it's called "Klippe map").

Hey that was so cool I don't study, too old I could follow along always had an interest geology Thank you

[@jeremyschepers5331]

Brilliant clear explination, absolute life saver, cheers!

Thank you Rob Butler, this video was very informative.

[@robbutler2095]

Glad you found it useful - there are other videos on the Channel that look at faults on maps too, and on section construction. Hope you find these useful too.

Thank you again, Rob.

Thanku so much for your illustration..! Really learn and enjoyed too much..!

Nzuri sana Prof. Rob!

[@RoxanaP56]

Awesome explanation Thank you so much please post more geology mapping videos they are very helpful.

[@robbutler2095]

Glad you liked it. Check out the Geological Mapping playlist (26 other videos) ... should be quite a bit to get your teeth into! kzbin.info/aero/PLxvNbEa7Qws68JKh6DA_0h5b-dmM7j6qu

Brilliant video

Two structural systems and a sedimentary order are worked out. That's very great.

Thank you!

Good afternoon professor, I have a question, in the middle of the map section, I think that the cornfield limestone does not emerge in that part of the geological cut, perhaps because I do not distinguish the color very well or I don't know, to locate it is at minute 16:10 to 17:40 therefore black rock limestone emerges and it should be light blue because if we project each layer, right in that part it should start with light blue and not purple PS: the colors are very similar in any case haha, I hope you can answer me soon, greetings.

[@robbutler2095]

Hi - looks OK to me. If you're finding the colour difficult, hopefully the commentary will help. Also some of the cut-ins have a different exposure so might help. Otherwise - is this arising because I've drawn the geology "in the sky" - always critical for showing structural interpretations and continuity....

Nice exaplantion I was trying to read the map

[@robbutler2095]

thanks - there are a set of other videos on this channel to enhance map interpretetation skills. It's always worth drawing a cross-section to develop understanding - even simple sketches.

excellent

[@robbutler2095]

Thanks!

@@robbutler2095 I work myself as a Structural Geo in Rio Tinto iron ore in Australia. Sometimes I watch some cool videos in KZbin. I found ur channel and subscribed. Excellent way to explain things, clear and easy to follow.

[@anaibisworld]

Sometimes we have large data base with drilling data, TV data, surface mapping, and still cannot trace faults well. In those instances using simple methods is the answer.

@@anaibisworld I'm a fan of keeping things simple - and getting a solution that makes geometric sense....
