<\/p>\r\nConsider the fractures in the photograph below and the corresponding sketch. The fractures belong to two sets with the same strike but with opposite dips: one set dips toward NW and the other toward SE. Answer the following questions:<\/p>\r\n
a) What type of pattern do the fractures form and under what tectonic regime were they generated?<\/p>\r\n
b) What was the orientation of the main stresses and what type are these fractures?<\/p>\r\n
c) What does this fracture pattern imply for the connected network and flow?<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
