BASIC NOMENCLATURE OF FOLD
Structural Geology Structural geology is the study of rocks deformed by stress and strain This involves trying to understand stress and strain forces to.
Folds are the wavy undulations as a result of plastic deformation developed in rocks by compressive forces acting at or near the surface of the earth crust.

Folds, descriptive Goals: 1) To understand the basic geometric elements of folds and 2) to classify folds based on their shape.

Outline 1.The basics: Synforms and antiforms 2.Geometric elements of folds 3.Classification schemes

Synforms and Antiforms Monocline Synform — Includes synclines and synformal anticlines Antiform — Includes anticlines and anticlinal synclines

Geometric elements of folds-I Fold profile plane Fold hinge Hinge zone Fold limb

Geometric elements of folds-II Inflection point Axial plane Axial trace

Simple and complex fold elements

Wavelength and amplitude

Classification: Orientation of hinge/axial surface

Classify Me

Classification: Interlimb angle Gentle 180–170° Open 170–90° Tight 90–10° Isoclinal 10–0°

Classify Me

Classification based on shape Cylindrical folds Chevron or kink folds Cuspate folds Symmetrical vs. Asymmetrical folds

Classify Me

Symmetrical ??

Fold Vergence

Classification: Layer thickness Parallel or concentric folds Similar folds

Classify Me

Dip-isogon classification Class-1A Class-1B (parallel) Class-1C Class-2 (similar) Class-3

Parasitic folds

What happens in non-similar folds?

Disharmonic Folds
