Diagram of a drainage system

A drainage system consists of many small basins, each adjusted in size and shape to the magnitude of the stream it serves. Streams shown by solid lines; divides by dashed lines. Strahler, 1960, p. 375.

Diagram of a fault cutting horizontal strata

Diagram of a fault cutting horizontal strata. A, the fracture before displacement; B, after displacement but before erosion; C, after erosion of fault scarp (Emmons, Thiel, Stauffer, Allison, 1955, p. 461).

Diagram of a glacial trough

Diagram showing the development of a glacial trough. A During maximum glaciation the U-Shaped trough is filled by ice to the level of the small tributaries. B After glaciation the trough floor may be occupied by a stream and lakes. C If the main stream is heavily loaded it may fill the trough floor with alluvium. D Should the glacial trough have been deepened below sea level, it will be occupied by an arm of the sea, or fjord. Strahler, 1960, p. 394.

Diagram of Grigg's dynamic model

Orogeny. Diagram showing Grigg's dynamic model to simulate the action of subcrustal convection currents and the response of the crust. The stage illustrated shows the development of a crustal downfold (root or tectogene) with outward thrusting near the surface in response to the currents set up by the rotation of the drums. The substartum in the model is very viscous waterglass, and the continental crust is a mixture of heavy oil and sand. Holmes, 1953, p. 412.
