    The document contains descriptions of 14 problems related to geological structures including folding, faulting, unconformities, and igneous rocks. The problems involve tasks like determining the attitude of geological features, constructing cross-sections, identifying unconformities and intrusions, deducing the relative ages of events, and interpreting the type and timing of movement on faults.
