Structural Geology and Tectonics examines the deformation of Earths crust and lithosphere. The course aims to introduce undergraduate students to its basic principles, analysis methods and field characteristics. The overall goal is to provide a good understanding of how Earths rocks deform at different levels of the lithosphere. Students develop a basic appreciation of rock deformation at different temperatures and pressures and at various scales and understand the difference between brittle and ductile deformation regimes. Students study diverse geometries and types of structures in the field and learn to relate them to the deformation regime, with emphasis on the regional geology of UoB
