Summary note
"Earth Structure introduces the basic principles of structural geology and tectonics to undergraduate students. It covers the description and analysis of geological structures in the Earth's crust; guides students through the principles of stress, strain, and rheology; and describes mechanisms contributing to rock deformation. It also links the process and style of deformation to tectonic settings, in the context of plate tectonics theory. The authors make the subject accessible to students by using a conversational writing style full of familiar analogies (from smashed cars to stretched rubber bands) and by providing conceptual images, not just mathematical formulas."--Back cover
