Structural geology is the study of structures produced by deformation of rocks. We will utilize basic principles of geometric, kinematic and dynamic analysis to identify and interpret geologic structures including fractures, faults, folds, fabrics, and shear zones. Topics covered include stress and strain, brittle and ductile deformation, geologic maps and cross-sections, and plate tectonics.
