One method of completing a geological interpretation
is the use of structural geology. This is the analysis of folds, joints and
faults within the rocks caused by plate tectonic movements. Information
obtained from the folds and faults assists in the creation of geological maps
of the area. Knowledge of the condition and the shape of the surface of the
land, type of rocks exposed and age are key factors in the completion of a geological
interpretation.
