Sommario/riassunto

Introduces the skills of geological map interpretation, relating map interpretation to the morphology of the most important types of geological structure, for use by students with a minimum of tutorial supervision in first-year undergraduate courses and for A-level geology. Chapters on folding, faulting, and unconformity emphasize developing three-dimensional visualization skills, and include bandw photos next to map representation and problems.
