"Structural geology is the study of the three dimensional distribution of large bodies of rock, their surfaces, and the composition inside the rock units to learn about their tectonic movements history, past geological events and environments that could have deformed them. These can be dated to know when the structural features formed. The study of structural geology has a primary importance in economic geology, both petroleum geology and mining geology. The main target of structural geology is to use measurements to understand the stress field that resulted in the observed strain and geometries. We can also understand the structural evolution of a particular area due to plate tectonics (e.g. mountain building, rifting). " -- Provided by publisher.
