Structural Geology vs. Tectonics Tectonics - how Earth
was built Broader than
Structural geology Encompassing study
of surface to core Including disciplines
as diverse as paleontology and geophysics
Structural geology - deformation processes
Integral part of tectonics, particularly in respect to deformation history over time

Class Mantra
Observations separate from interpretations

Challenges Geology is a forensic science. We must look at
deformation from an historical viewpoint. We have to consider a wide range of spatial
scales. We work on a variety of time-scales, from those
required for an earthquake to those that form mountain belts.
3D visualization is critical

The 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.
