Using your stereonet that you made in class, use a single sheet of tracing paper and plot the following structural data collected from a ductile shear zone along the South Tibetan Detachment near the summit of Mt Everest. Make sure you label all the structural elements to be plotted (first three bullets below). You can write your answer to the last bulleted item (below) directly on your tracing paper, then take a photo of your stereonet and explanation and upload it to Canvas. Please upload in .jpg or .pdf format. [12 pts total; 3 pts each] - gneissic foliation: N70W, 15NE (quadrant) or 290, 15NE (azimuth) - stretching lineations found within the gneissic foliation have attitude of N2OE, 15 (trend, plunge). - plot the pole to the above gneissic foliation and give it's trend and plunge: - Are the structural data given here consistent with "dip-slip" fault motion or "strike-slip" fault motion. Explain you answer by referring to specific feature(s) of the data plotted.
