Structural Analysis and Synthesis: Laboratory Course in Structured Geology - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This manual is intended for the laboratory portion of an undergraduate course on structural geology or geophysics. It presents a series of related exercises directed toward analyzing the structural form and evolution of a single field area. The approach approximates the procedure taken by field workers in the study of a new era. A feature is the initial chapter on rheological models, which is designed to give the student a clear qualitative understanding of the concepts of stress and strain. This, together with stereographic projections, structure contours and isopach maps, and details of technical procedures such as strain and fault slip measurement, should make this a useful text for the geology student.
