Methods of Structural Geology and Tectonics

Data synthesis and analysis: Structural data are organized into the following documents:
1/ Geological maps and cross sections show the distribution of rock formation and faults.

2/ Tectonic maps and structural profiles show the distribution of strain elements such as foliation and lineation, distribution of fold axes, strain magnitude.

3/ Sketch-maps are simplified geological maps in which rock formations are organized in packages separated by unconformities. The detail of the stratigraphy is not shown.
