Institution:

New Jersey City University

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on linear, planar and three-dimensional deformation features in rocks, including folds and faults. It details their recognition, geometrical properties, classification, and genesis. The course covers the kinematic and dynamic processes that produce such features and their relationships to local, regional and global tectonic patterns through time. Laboratories and field projects allow students to refine techniques for representing structures and for inferring the stresses and strains that generated them. Prerequisites: GEOS 112 Introduction to Geology and GEOS 241 Historical Geology, or permission of instructor Recommended: PHYS 130 College Physics I, Lecture and PHYS 1130 College Physics I, Recitation/Laboratory
