About this title

Synopsis

This text discusses the morphology of the most important types of geological structures. The structures are related to their manifestation on geological maps, and photographs are included to emphasize the similarities between structures at outcrop scale and on the scale of a map. Worked examples are given to assist with the solution of the exercises provided. Emphasis is placed throughout the text on developing the skill of three-dimensional visualization.

An ideal text for first year undergraduates and others wishing to acquire these skills.' Aslib Book Guide 'Geological Structures and Maps is exactly what the title says - an introduction to the geometry of simple structures and what they look like on geologic maps... this book is refreshingly clear and to-the-point.'
