Excellent Weblink - Blocks

All movies copyright by Stephen J. Reynolds, 2001. The list pages were created by Julia K. Johnson. Educational uses, including copying the movies to your own computer or server, are approved as long as the source is credited.
This is an excellent link for folds, faults, mapping, Intrusions, Unconformities and 3D images. Particularly good for A2 mapping :)

Fantastic for A2 Quaternary :)Just click on the link.
Plate Tectonics
Good for AS but EXCELLENT for A2 - ideally watch the whole 50 mins but key section around 25 mins in.

Hints and Tips
Students sitting the exam tomorrow: the ppt on How to Compose a Cross Section (Mapping) is excellent as is the ppt on Mineral Identification (Mineralogy). Sleep well and DON'T WORRY!! You'll be brilliant!! :)
