Discussion
Consider the following statements about faults and joints.
1. A joint shows no appreciable displacement 2. Hade is measured from the horizontal 3. Repetition of a bed in a borehole suggests a thrust
Answer: A
Correct answer: 1 and 3 only are correct
Statements 1 and 3 are correct: a joint is by definition a fracture without appreciable displacement, and repetition of a bed in a vertical hole indicates that the section has been stacked by a reverse or thrust fault. Statement 2 reverses the convention - hade is measured from the vertical, and dip from the horizontal, the two being complementary.
