Structural Geology: Mechanisms and Modeling of Crustal Deformation Structural geology geology structural

Imagine trying to push a stack of carpet across a floor. It doesn't slide straight; it buckles. That is folding. Folds occur under high pressure and temperature deep in the crust where rocks behave like putty. Blocks slide horizontally, like the famous San Andreas Fault

Deformation occurs through various tectonic processes that produce distinct geological structures. Blocks slide horizontally

Geology structural has numerous applications in a range of fields, including:

Folds are the "waves" in the Earth's crust. They are most often the result of compressional stress.
