Slickenlines will give a direction of slip, but as you have probably thought out, that still has two possible interpretations. It isn't always easy, but there are several things you may observe that will help.\n\nSlickensides will also develop a series of small steps that show the sense of movement. These are somewhat perpendicular to the fault movement and the steps will be the trailing edge of the movement direction. \nHere is a picture, where the top (missing portion) side moved to the left. \nhttp://www.geo.cornell.edu/geology/class...\nHere are several other illustrations of these steps:\nhttp://www.geo.cornell.edu/geology/class...\n\nDrag folds will also help you determine the sense of movement. These folds are distortions of the bedding due to shearing along the fault. They are convex toward the direction of slip, with the exception of rollover anticlines along listric normal faults. To describe it another way, the shear will form a 'cup-like' pattern near the fault in the bedding, the bottom of the 'cup' will point toward the direction of movement. If on the upper side of the fault your 'cup' points downward, it should be a normal fault, and if this 'cup' points upward on the upper side of the fault, it is likely a reverse fault. \n\nUsing stratigraphic layers will often not get you much further than the slickenlines, giving you two possible directions. But, in some outcrops you can look at the topmost part of the fault and also see some evidence of the sense of movement by observing the most recent deposition or the thickness of the soil layer over the fault blocks. Where the fault blocks have been eroded away equally on both sides this may not help. \n\nIn other instances you may have to do more mapping and examine other faults in the area before you can make a conclusion. If you know the area is extensional, then you have a hypothesis to work with. The best idea is to always check as many kinds of evidence as you can find before you make a conclusion.

It's called the "Moho," which is short for "Mohorovicic Discontinuity."  It is named for the scientist who postulated its existence.  No one has ever drilled down far enough to see it, but that layer has certain unique physical properties.

whitish/grayish. It's really just made up of rock. Then again its just a humongous rock that's in orbit with us.

This doesn't really belong in Earth Sciences.  Biology or Botany are more specific categories for questions about living matter.  However, I'm in a good mood because it's Friday.  Check the link.

woohoo geology... lets see if I remember anything...\n\nOkay here is a basic thing, the composition of rocks, especially it's silicate level, can tell us much about the molten/semimolten layers of Earth.... Okay I was enver very good in this subject, so look here...\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology

D:till \n\nTill is an unsorted glacial sediment. Glacial drift is a general term for the coarsely graded and extremely heterogeneous sediments of glacial origin. Glacial till is that part of glacial drift which was deposited directly by the glacier. It may vary from clays to mixtures of clay, sand, gravel and boulders. A particularly sticky form of clay till is called gumbo. Clay in till may form balls called till balls. If a till ball rolls around in a stream and picks up rocks from the bed of the stream and becomes covered with them it may become an armored till ball.

Tectonics, (from the Greek for "builder", tekton), is a field of study within geology concerned generally with the structures within the crust of the Earth (or other planets) and particularly with the forces and movements that have operated in a region to create these structures.

NOTE to ABOVE: you got sill & dyke or dike backwards...\n\nSills - injected between layers of strata; parallel with rock layers; think of it like a "seal" to the layers below\n\nDikes - cut across rock layers; up & down\n\nLaccoliths - large igneous bodies that form close to the surface & give a "blister" like appearance to surrounding strata; lifts it up; can be injected into the rock layers & lift up\n\nBatholith - very large igneous body that is usually found very deep beneath the surface; probably a hardened magma chamber; cuts across strata
