2. A rock characterized by the fragments and blocks of all sizes, exotic and of native origin and are embeded in a fragmented and generally sheared matrix.
4. A fold whose/core is constituted by stratigraphically younger rocks.
6. The upthrown side of a fault, characterized by upward vertical displacement.
9. This branch deals with the tectonic forces and processes of the Earth's interior.
11. An upward or downward regional flexure or bend of the crustal rocks.
15. Due to this, the parallel lines are sheared past one another by deformation.
16. A break in a rock, produced due to mechanical failure by stress. It includes cracks and joints.
18. A feather like tension fracture along which the walls have been pulled apart.
20. A geometric representation of strain defined by three mutually perpenlicalar principal axes.
21. A symmetrical fold system having anamplitude or a wave form, i.e. it has half the

1. The inclination of a linear structure, measured with reference to the vertical plane.
2. A columnar structure in a folded rocks forming coarse lineation.
3. a fold.
5. A fault which is formed parallel to the strike of the strata.
7. The horizontal direction or trend of a structural surface, e.g. bedding or fault plane. It is at right angles to the dip.
8. A fracture formed by stresses which tend to shear one part of a rock past the other.
10. Due to tectonic movements the rocks acquire a sharp bend in an orogenic belt.
12. distance between the antiformal andsynformal enveloping surfaces.
13. A fold in which the fold hinge is inclined to the horizontal surface.
14. A tectonically active zone which has not experienced earthquake during a time interval.
17. A plunging anticline without a closure.
19. A line which connects the points of flexure or maximum curvature of the bedding plane
