Structural Geology §

Group: 4 #group-4

Relations §

• Geology: Structural Geology is the study of the deformation and movement of rocks, including faults, folds, and other geological structures, which is essential for understanding tectonic processes and resource exploration.
• Fold Valley: The study of fold valleys and other folded structures falls within the field of structural geology.
• Mountain Fold: Mountain folds are studied in the field of structural geology, which deals with the deformation and arrangement of rock layers.
• Metamorphism: Structural geology is closely linked to metamorphism, as the deformation and folding of rocks during metamorphism can produce distinctive structural features.
• Orogeny: Orogeny is studied in the field of structural geology, which deals with the deformation of rocks.
