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 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 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.
