Foundations of Structural Geology Summary

Foundations of Structural Geology by Professor R. G. Park

Tailored to the requirements of first or second year geology undergraduates, this revised and updated edition includes some discussion of morphology and classification. The more complex aspects of deformation are dealt with after stress and strain have been discussed. Part of the book is devoted to the wider context of geological structures and how they relate to plate tectonics. The final two chapters give examples of various types of geological structures in their plate tectonic settings in ancient orogenic belts.

Table of Contents

Part One: Geological structures and deformation; basic concepts; faults and faulting; folds and folding; foliation, lineation and fabric; stress; strain; stress and strain in materials; determination of strain in rocks; stress and strain in faulting; strain patterns in folding; emplacement of igneous intrusions; gravity controlled structures. Part Two: Geotectonics - major earth structure; major earth structure; plate tectonics; geological structure and plate tectonics; structural interpretation of orogenic belts.
