Structural Geology- Introduction Introduction Structural geology is the study of deformed rocks, and rock deformation. In structural geology, we are faced with a series of natural features that we try to interpret and explain. Each of these features formed through the interplay of external forces on rock materials, and the \local \conditions at the time of deformation. To interpret structures in the natural setting we need to

Brokenback feature in Wyoming. Interpret the fracture pattern using your o 1. The following map shows the principal azimuths for fractures measured on th knowledge of joints and joint systems. Prepare a written(1 paragraph) analysis detailing the \joint system\these fractures may represent. Be sure to include a discussion of your evidence in support of your conclusion

This type of problem will be on the test! 1. Calculate the force at the base of a continental block that has a uniform thickness of 25km, length of1000km, width of500km, and density of2.70. What is the stress on the bottom of the block?

Recognition of fault bend fold, detachment and decapitation has been possible despite the poor quality of the seismic. That was successful because of: A full integration of all disciplines including reservoir engineering petrophysics and geochemistry Vizualization in 3-D that made all members of the team speak the same language

Department of Earth and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles The unifying theme in this section is the remarkable weakness of major faults. I will consider the diverse new evidence for weakness, and the evidence for high pore pressure localized in faults as a fundamental cause. With this background one can better understand why faults remain active even after large rotations with
