Using Layer-Cake Geology to Illustrate Structural Topographic Relationships.

Wagner, John Robert

Journal of Geological Education, v35 n1 p33-36 Jan 1987

Discusses some of the difficulties of visualizing underlying geologic structural patterns by using maps or wooden blocks. Suggests the use of a modified layer cake to show dipping beds, folds, faults and differential erosion, as well as the relationships of stream valleys to outcrop patterns. (TW)
