Week 6 Geological Interpretation

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.
