Structural geology : fundamentals and modern developments / S.K. Ghosh. - 1 online resource (xvi, 598 pages) : illustrations - Gale virtual reference library .
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
1. Introductory concepts -- 2. Primary structures -- 3. Structural elements and their attitudes -- 4. Stereographic and equal area projections -- 5. Stress -- 6. Deformation -- 7. Behaviour of rocks under stress -- 8. Finite homogeneous deformation -- 9. Progressive deformation -- 10. Measurement of strain -- 11. Rotation of structural elements -- 12. Geometry of folds -- 13. Mechanism of folding -- 14. Cleavage -- 15. Interfering folds -- 16. Lineations -- 17. Boudinage -- 18. Faults -- 19. Joints -- 20. Unconformity and basement-cover relation -- 21. Ductile shear zones -- 22. Time relation between crystallization and deformation.
This book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the fundamental aspects of structural geology, emphasizing both classical concepts and modern developments. A detailed account of the techniques of geometrical analysis is provided, giving a sound background to principles of geological deformation and in-depth analysis of mechanisms of formation of geological structures.
