Appendix A: Geological Modelling Events

The following images show examples of all the distinct types of geological modelling events available within Noddy. With each type of event, there is a wide range of parameters which can be varied to alter its affect on the pre-existing geology. For these examples a base geology was used consisting of a three dimensional chequerboard of red and beige cubes, cut by three orthogonal planar bodies.

The chequerboard volume is in turn embedded in a uniform pale green unit which makes an appearance as a result of deformation of the line of the original volume.
