Tailored to the requirements of first or second year geology undergraduates, this revised and updated edition includes some discussion of morphology and classification. The more complex aspects of deformation are dealt with after stress and strain have been discussed. Part of the book is devoted to the wider context of geological structures and how they relate to plate tectonics. The final two chapters give examples of various types of geological structures in their plate tectonic settings in ancient orogenic belts.
