Diagram showing a trellis drainage pattern on folds

A trellis drainage pattern on folds. This resembles the trellis drainage pattern of eroded dipping sediment (slide Box XII-15), but opposing sets of tributaries are shorted and of more equal length than on cuesta topography. Strahler, 1960, p. 473.

Diagram showing classification of shorelines

Diagram showing the classification of shorelines. (1) Shorelines of submergence: 1A, submerged mountainous coast; 1B, submerged coastal plain, low relief; 1C, fiord coast; 1D,submerged glacial deposits (drumlins). (2) Shorelines of emergence: 2A, coastal plain type, low relief; 2B, steeply sloping type, strong relief. (3) Neutral shorelines: 3A, alluvial fan shoreline; 3B, delta shoreline; 3C, volcano shoreline; 3D, coral reef shoreline. (4) Fault shoreline. Strahler, 1960, p. 418.

Diagram showing dune formations

A. Coastal blowout dunes with saucer-like depressions. B. Parabolic blowout dunes on an arid plain. C. Parabolic dunes of hairpin form. D. Longitudinal dune ridges on a desert plain. Srahler, 1960. p. 439.

Diagram showing land mass classifications

Land masses can be classified according to the groups illustrated here: Coastal plains, horizontal strata, folds, domes, fault blocks, homogenous crystalline masses, complex structures,volcanoes. Srahler, 1960. p. 449.

Diagram showing sequence of geologic events repeated over time

A sequence of events which have generally been repeated throughout geologic time over the continents of the globe is well illustrated in the Hudson Valley. In the diagrams, northwest is to the left, southeast to the right. A. In a shallow inland seaway thousands of feet of sediment accumulated during the Palaeozoic era. B. Mountain building at the end of the Palaeozoic era produced a series of folds and thrust faults. A general uplifting brought a large mass above sea level. C. Followings long period of erosion, a peneplain was produced. Then faulting in the Triassic produced gently tilted blocks. D. Second long period of erosion resulting in another peneplain. E. The region today owes its relief to different rates of removal of the various kinds of rocks. Strahler, 1960, p. 296.
