Going to add info, but won't be sourced...
[edit]Ok this article is really bad so I will add stuff... but I stink at sourcing so I won't do that. Revert my changes if you want. :)
Photo of Half Dome
[edit]Granite domes like Half Dome aren't formed by the deformation of strata, are they? I'm no geologist, but it appears (to this layman) that the photo illustrating the article is in direct contradiction to the definition of "dome" that we provide here. Can any real geologist clarify matters? 65.213.77.129 (talk) 19:16, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
User talk:65.213.77.129 is right. The photo of Half-dome does not belong here for reasons stated above. I will delete it and add a picture of a true dome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jstuby (talk • contribs) 21:50, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Dome-->anticline-->lowest strata in the middle-->rocks are oldest in the middle
[edit]It appears that the first paragraph of this article ended up with 'backwards' information during the re-write at 02:16, April 14, 2014.
Specifically, the new version stated that the "strata which should become older from the centre of the dome outwards." This appears incorrect by comparison with the anticline page. I have made revisions to address this, and restored the reference that had been deleted at the time. Supasheep (talk) 23:28, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
Technical language
[edit]I just wanted to comment that the language in this article is extremely technical and jargony, to a greater degree than related articles. It would benefit from a rewrite with general readers in mind. Zareksiegel (talk) 05:37, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
