Structural Geology

Structural Geology - Basic Theoretical

This is a basic theoretical course in structural geology, in which the main sources, forces and forces that act in the formation of geological structures can be learned. Likewise, all internal geological processes and external geological processes that can trigger geological hazards are discussed.

This course is for those interested in earth sciences, and all those who need to obtain precise and concise information on the most important geological structures: such as Faults, Joints, or Folds.

This course is divided into 4 main modules, there the following topics are addressed, which are listed below:

MODULE 1: What is Structural Geology

• What is structural Geology

• Objectives of the structural Geology

• Importance of the structural Geology

• Structral Geology Methods and Tools

  
  

• MODULE 2: Stress and deformation

• Concept: Force

• Concept: Efforts

• Concept: Deformations

MODULE 3: Geological Structures

• What are the Joints

• What are folds

• What are Faults

• Cartographic representation of geological structures

• Plate Tectonics Theory

  
  

• MODULE 4: Geological Hazards

• Internal geological processes

• External geological processes

• Prevention geological hazards

• MODULE 5: Geological / Geotechnical analysis software

Although it is a basic theoretical course, it is quite complete, simple, the information is synthesized and includes all the necessary content to understand the deformation processes of the earth's crust. We hope you can take advantage of this course.
