Problems and Solutions in Structural Geology and Tectonics cover

Problems and Solutions in Structural Geology and Tectonics, Volume 5, in the series Developments in Structural Geology and Tectonics, presents students, researchers and practitioners with an all-new set of problems and solutions that structural geologists and tectonics researchers commonly face. Topics covered include ductile deformation (such as strain analyses), brittle deformation (such as rock fracturing), brittle-ductile deformation, collisional and shortening tectonics, thrust-related exercises, rift and extensional tectonics, strike slip tectonics, and cross-section balancing exercises. The book provides a how-to guide for students of structural geology and geologists working in the oil, gas and mining industries.

"In short, a commendable work that presents a compendio of varied exercises to get into some of the practical problems associated with structural geology tural and tectonics. The reader will find from theoretical cases to others whose resolution implies solving problems more of interest to society, is to reconstruct how much moves and deforms a region of the earth's surface, assess the significance of the magnitude of an earthquake or reconstruct what shape and characteristics some have structures in the subsoil. In times when we have- We need to encourage our students to understand give the potentiality and practical use of our science, and for society to know and recognize the usefulness of our another profession, this work provides some useful examples for necessary task of training future professionals. As Lynn Fichter and Steven Whitmeyer point out in the book: "all models are wrong, but some of them are useful"." --OTRAS Publication
