| Definition and characteristics of structural geology: structural features. Concept of structural analysis: descriptive analysis, kinematic analysis, dynamic analysis. Descriptive analysis: stereographic projection, orthographic projection. Kinematic analysis: rigid body deformation, non-rigid rock deformation (strain) , deformation, deformation ellipsoid, deformation fields and deformation structures within deformation ellipsoid, rotational and non-rotational deformation, general characteristics of deformation ellipsoid. Factors effecting deformation of the rocks: effects of temperature, time, fluids, confining pressure, isotropy and inhomogenity. |
