No. 180345Steeply dipping axial plane cleavage. These folded sedimentary layers exposed near Sullivan River in southeastern British Columbia dramatically illustrate the awesome forces constantly at work reshaping the features of the earth. One of the Geological Survey of Canada's tasks is to examine, study, and report on the effects and the causes of such forces.
