A  Chevron is a type of plankton associated with oil

B  Chevron is a V shaped fold so it is a good place to drill

C  Chevron is the place where people first discovered oil

D  Chevron is the name of the man who developed the first oil rig

A  Folds tie back to plate boundaries so oil cannot be located there because the pressure destroys it

B  Folds destroy oil so they never drill there but next to them

C  Oil flows to the center of the fold so they drill the center

D  Folds tie back to plate boundaries so fossils get metamorphosed to oil there

D  Youngest, oldest

E  Oldest, youngest

A  Towards, away

B  Away, towards

C  Left, right

D  Angled, straight

E  Right, left

A  Paleo and active divergent boundaries

B  They are likely anywhere

D  Paleo and active transform boundaries

A  Normal

B  Right lateral strike slip

C  Thrust

D  Reverse

E  Left lateral strike slip

A  The motion is always right on one side and left on the opposite side so it depends where you are orientated to the fault

B  In both faults the motion is to the right because right motion is dominant

C  In a left-lateral strike slip fault the motion is appears to be to the right and in a right lateral strike slip fault the motion is appears to be to the left

D  In a left-lateral strike slip fault the motion is to the left and in a right lateral strike slip fault the motion is to the right
