Geological Structures is an easy-to-use, highly informative
photographic field guide that introduces the great variety of geological
structures to be found all around us. The authors' beautiful
photography, extended captions and accessible text make interpreting and
understanding geological structures simple, whether you're an amateur
enthusiast keen to learn or a more experienced geologist.
The three main rock groups - igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary - and
their related structures are each covered in detail, followed by
sections focusing on folds and folding, faults and faulting, and
unconformities.
Structures and related landforms are illustrated in more than 200
detailed colour photographs and their helpful captions assist with
identification in the field.
Each geological account includes an indication of the structure's
formation and provides useful information on how to identify and
understand its distinguishing features.
