Structural geology : an introduction to geometrical techniques / Donal M. Ragan

By: Ragan, Donal M [author]Material type: TextTextPublication details: New York : John Wiley & Sons, c1973Description: ix, 208 pages : illustrations ; 28 cmISBN: 0471704814Subject(s): GEOLOGYLOC classification: GE 601 .R34 1973
Contents:
Attitude of Structural Planes -- Thickness and Depth -- Planes and Topography -- Lines and Intersecting Planes -- Graphic Solutions with the Stereo net -- Faults -- Stress -- Faults and Stresses -- Concepts of Deformation -- Strain in Rocks -- Description and Classification of Folds -- Parallel Folds -- Similar Folds -- Folds and Topography -- Linear and Planar Structures in Tectonites -- Structural Analysis -- Drill Hole Data -- Structural Contours -- Maps and Cross-Sections -- Block Diagrams.
Summary: To achieve a high level of understanding in a short time it is necessary to master the essentials of both the traditional approaches and recent advances. In structural geology, the problem of doing this is compounded partly because of the modern developments and partly because there are few short-cuts to the all-important spatial visualization.
