ZONES OF DIVERSE DISPLACEMENT.

yet been discovered. It is simply the Kaibab structure on a very small 

 scale. Fig. 4 is a bird's eye view of the blocks mentioned. In the section, 

 in the foreground, the heavy line represents the summit of the highest Cre- 

 taceous group. Fig. 5 is a diagram of the same region showing the blocks 

 into which it is severed, and the same restored to the condition they would 

 have, had there been no denudation. 



On the south side of the Uinta Mountains, and east of the Green River, 

 another comparatively simple area has been studied by myself. This zone 

 of diverse displacement is on the flank of the great Uinta upheaval. These 

 displacements are chiefly by flexures rather than by faults, and the blocks 

 arc more tilted and 'contorted than in the last. 



In Atlas, Plate No. 4, we have a stereogram representing these displace- 

 ments, and in a subsequent chapter the subject will be more fully discussed. 



A. Simple Anticlinal displacement. 



B. Uinta displacement. 



C. -Kaibab displacement. 



D. Basin Range displacement. 



E. Zone of Diverse displacement.

Many other areas for more complex than these have been discovered 

 where a zone has been broken into blocks, and these blocks tipped and 

 contorted in diverse ways and directions like the blocks of ice crowded in 

 an oddy of a northern river at the time of its spring flood. The topographic 

 features found in such areas are zones of irregular hills. Fio-ure 6 is a
