Structural Geology and Tectonics
Description
This book covers the basic concepts and case studies in structural geology and tecton ics . This book covers pl ate margins and plate interiors, varied rock types and rocks of different ages. It also includes structural geological field examples of deformed rock s. The book is helpful for researchers and professionals working in the area of geology. It will also be useful for the geologists to conduct and support their geological field training programs.
