Trang 3Structural Geology vs
Tectonics
was built
Structural geology
of surface to core
as diverse as
paleontology and
geophysics
deformation processes
tectonics, particularly
in respect to deformation history over time

Trang 7Class Mantra
Observations separate from interpretations
Trang 9deformation from an historical viewpoint
scales
required for an earthquake to those that form
mountain belts
Trang 10The Earth as a cooling body
Formed by accretion 4.55 Ga
Cooling by conduction, radiation,
advection
Advective cooling drives plate tectonics
The distribution of rocks, of temperature, and of deformation on the planet all
determined by plate tectonics.
