Flexural-Slip Restoration 1
Restore the cross section of the Sequatchie anticline in Fig. 11.69. Why is the flexural-
slip method appropriate? Discuss the effect of the choice of pin line and loose line on
the result. Is the cross section valid?
11.10.6
Flexural-Slip Restoration 2
Restore the cross section of the Velma area in Fig. 11.70. Use the flexural slip technique
and preserve the original stratigraphic thickness changes. Is the cross section valid?
Discuss the origin of the major faults and their sequence of formation.
11.10.7
Flexural-Slip Restoration 3
Restore the cross section in Fig. 11.71 by flexural slip. First it is necessary to correlate
units across the faults. Discuss the effect of the choice of pin line and loose line on
the result. Could the interpretation be questioned or improved? Is the cross section
valid?
11.10.8
Balance and Restoration
Restore the cross section of the Deer Park anticline (Fig. 11.72) by flexural slip or
area balance, as appropriate. Construct an area-depth diagram for the entire anti-
cline. What displacement caused the structure and what displacement is present on
Fig. 11.69.
