Lavishly illustrated in color, this textbook takes an applied approach
to introduce undergraduate students to the basic principles of
structural geology. The book provides unique links to industry
applications in the upper crust, including petroleum and groundwater
geology, which highlight the importance of structural geology in
exploration and exploitation of petroleum and water resources. Topics
range from faults and fractures forming near the surface to shear zones
and folds of the deep crust. Students are engaged through examples and
parallels drawn from practical everyday situations, enabling them to
connect theory with practice. Containing numerous end-of-chapter
problems, e-learning modules, and with stunning field photos and
illustrations, this book provides the ultimate learning experience for
all students of structural geology.
