Tomorrow will be the 4th paper - Introduction to Geological Maps which will take about 3 hours and I should be grateful till now since my sister told me that their papers took 3 hours including the written ones unlike my metamorphism and other modules including fossils and sedimentology which took around 1 hour 30 minutes, yet we had to manage our time wisely during the exam especially in deciding which points to elaborte hence judging the priority of each point (macam benar...i just write them up lol =.=")
anyways, last weekend i didnt have the mood to revise like i used to, well maybe its because im too exhausted after three consecutive days of exams - written practical, written and multiple choice. And I think i was feeling the aftermath of the energy i used during revision. Only this morning that i feel that my head's okay. I did revise some bits yesterday though - stereonets. Man, i was struggling to find the methods how to do some of the questions and i believe my other geologists and geophysicists mates would find them easy except for me perhaps -.-
Q.What's the smallest angle between the two lines?
-Struggled at first only to find out you just have to turn the two poles so that they are in same great circle then count the distance between the two poles and there you go, the angle in degrees
Q.What's the pitch of the intersection at surface B?
I think you just have to count from bottom upwards after you turn the strike of surface B on the overlay of the stereonet. Comprehende~and never ever forget to tell the direction ^^
Q.What's the apparent dip of surface A in NE-SW vertical cross section?
I didnt know what this question wants and checked the book "stratigraphic projection techniques" macam atu lah namanya X) and found out apparent dip=plunge and makin tia aku puzzled. Then tried hentam-hentam and got it ^^ in this case turn the NE-SW of your tracing paper onto the overlay of the stereonet. Then, check the intersection of surface A's great circle across the vertical section of the NE-SW atu then there, read it from centre i think or from upwards bottom -.- i forgot.
And i havent try the restoring of structures yet. Man, I hope i dont struggle with that...I WILL though...definitely =.= but all i must do is to believe in myself.
To those who're having exams too right now, Bittaufik Wannajah =)
