This is an excellent link for folds, faults, mapping, Intrusions, Unconformities and 3D images. Particularly good for A2 mapping :)
Good Luck AS Geologists. You are welcome to bob in tomorrow morning with any questions or to use the classroom for quiet revision.

If you bring an essay or exam question to me tomorrow morning I'll mark it for the end of the college day. Enjoy your revision. A :)

I hope you have all been revising hard over the weekend for your mock exams tomorrow. Keep practising past papers. Make a list of anything you want me to go over in class before you go on study leave on Friday. Angela :)
