Structural Basin Model
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4406
The Structural Basin Model (SKU JA-ERAM-4406) is a geology model of a structural basin: a large-scale depression in rock strata formed when previously flat-lying layers are warped by tectonic movement. In a basin the exposed strata become progressively younger from the outside in, with the youngest rocks in the centre. JaincoLab makes this structural geology model for school geography and college geology teaching, where it pairs naturally with models of folds, faults and anticlines.
Specifications
The model represents a structural basin in layered rock strata, as described below; size, material, base and colouring are not stated in the listing and are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the structural basin model
The model is used to teach how to read rock outcrop patterns, showing students why the youngest beds lie at the centre of a basin, the reverse of the pattern seen in a structural dome.
