Week 7


I took my trip to the Armargosa Chaos which is full of faults and folds. The first the thing I noticed was all the faults and folds. What I was curious about was how the faults and folds were occurring. Was the area being pulled apart which would create the faults push back into other areas to create the folds? If so does it just keep happening back and forth? Since all the rocks are basically everywhere from all the folding and faults occurring would this area be harder to survey and understand where everything goes and how old it is? Also looking at pictures you can see that some of the older metamorphic rock is higher than the newer sediments and then the other way around
