This course offers an analysis and interpretation of natural deformation, including the fault, fold and ductile flow systems accompanying the deformation of the earth's crust; extensional, contractional and toroidal deformation; geometric, kinematic and mechanical analysis of the deformational structures of different scales; and techniques and assumptions used in the construction of structural cross sections. Prerequisite: GEOL 2290 and GEOL 3190 or Corequisite: GEOL 2290 and GEOL 3190
