Geology - Faults, Folds, and Joints

This course covers the learning outcomes and goals of understanding how rocks deform under stress through folding, faulting, and forming joints. Students will learn about different types of faults (dip-slip and strike-slip), folds (anticline and syncline), and features along faults and folds. The course teaches skills such as identifying fault and fold structures, understanding stress and strain in rocks, and interpreting mountain belt diagrams. The teaching method includes lecture-style explanations and visual aids. The intended audience for this course includes geology enthusiasts, students, and professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of rock deformation processes.
