Structural Geology

Folds and faults are geological structures that result from the response of rocks to tectonic stresses induced by plate movements. Structural geology is concerned with the description and analysis of structural features in rocks ranging from the microscopic to macroscopic scales. These studies enable the deformation history of a region to be deciphered. When combined with earthquake assessment and seismic monitoring, the deformation history can give an indication of the potential seismotectonic hazard in a region.
