Course content
Description, classification and interpretation of geological structures such as faults, folds, foliations, lineations etc. and the relationships between such structures and tectonic phenomena like mountain building and basin formation. Structures related to intrusive rocks, gravity controlled deformation and salt tectonics. Practicals consist of the visualisation and calculation of folded, faulted and rotated rock units, especially how these appear on geological maps and cross sections. Extensive use is made of the stereographic projection.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
Students will learn the basic theory of stress, strain and deformation of rocks, on classification and formation of geological structures, such as faults, folds, foliations and lineations, and about the formation of geological structures in different tectonic regimes and conditions.
Skills:
Students should be able to interpret geological maps and profiles and use the stereographic projection to solve structural geologic problems. During the field course the students learn to map and interpret the geology of a given area.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and obligatory exercises. 1 week's obligatory field mapping course (held outside the semester). Exercise tests and field report count for 40 % of the final exam. The re-sit exam can be oral.
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
Recommended previous knowledge
Introductory Geology or equivalent.
