Study Notes
Types of Structures
- Secondary structures are formed after their host rock is lithified.
- Boundary structures form the boundary between distinct units.
Forces and Stresses
- A force is a vector quantity with magnitude (strength) and direction.
- Stress is the intensity of force per unit area.
- Internal forces arise from external forces applied.
Examples of Forces
- A single axial force applied to the topmost cross-section of a rod.
- Seismically active fault in the Gulf of Corinth.
Strain Analysis
- Conglomerate in a constrictional state of strain.
Types of Analysis
- Dynamic analysis
- Mechanism analysis
- Tectonic analysis
Structural Geology
- Each scale of observation has its own set of tools.
