Geological Maps
Geological maps are important tools used by geologists to represent the distribution and characteristics of rocks and geological features on the Earth's surface. These...
Folds
Folds are wavelike deformation patterns in rock layers or other geological materials that result from the application of stress over a period of time....
Stress and Strain
Stress and strain are fundamental concepts in structural geology that describe how rocks respond to tectonic forces and other forms of deformation. Stress refers...
Fault and Types of Faults
Fault is a fracture or crack where two rock blocks slide past one to another. If this movement may occur rapidly, it can be causes earthquike or slowly, in the form of creep.Types of faults include strike-slip faults, normal faults, reverse faults, thrust faults, and oblique-slip faults.
Plate Tectonics
Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that explains the movements and behaviors of the Earth's lithosphere, which is composed of the crust and uppermost...
Structural Geology
Structural geology is the study of the internal structure and deformation of the Earth's crust. Structural geologists use a variety of techniques, including field...
