A  Chevron is the place where people first discovered oil

B  Chevron is a type of plankton associated with oil

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

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

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

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

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

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

A  Youngest, oldest

B  Igneous, sedimentary

C  Oldest, youngest

D  Sedimentary, igneous

E  Heaviest, lightest

A  Away, towards

B  Left, right

C  Angled, straight

D  Right, left

E  Towards, away

A  Paleo and active transform boundaries

B  Paleo and active divergent boundaries

C  Paleo and active convergent boundaries

D  They are likely anywhere

A  Reverse

B  Normal

C  Thrust

D  Right lateral strike slip

E  Left lateral strike slip

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

B  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

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

D  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
