Richly illustrated in color, this textbook takes an applied approach to introduce undergraduate students to the fundamental principles of structural geology. The book offers unique connections to industrial applications in the upper crust, including the geology of oil and groundwater, highlighting the importance of structural geology in the exploration and exploitation of oil and water resources. Topics range from faults and fractures that form near the surface to shear and fold zones in the deep crust. Students are engaged through examples and parallels from practical everyday situations, allowing them to connect theory with practice. With numerous exercises at the end of each chapter, e-learning modules, and impressive field photos and illustrations, this book provides the ultimate learning experience for all students of structural geology.
