The formation of geological structures or rock deformation patterns, studied by geodynamicists and tectonicians, is, also governed by the mechanical principles outlined in this textbook. Atomic Structure: Fundamental particles. Common misunderstandings about the geologic column and the creationist position. Lavishly illustrated in color, this textbook takes an applied approach to introduce undergraduate students to the basic principles of structural geology. Bohr's theory of hydrogen atom; Wave-particle duality; Uncertainty principles; Schrodinger's wave equation; Quantum numbers, shapes of orbitals; Hund's rule and Pauli's exclusion principle. Structural Geology: Concept of stratum; Contour; Outcrop patterns; Maps and cross sections; Dip and strike; Classification and origin of folds, faults, joints, foliation and lineation, unconformities; shear zones. There are a handful of places in the world where there seem to be . It involves an interactive, web-based application designed to enhance the visualization of geologic structures and processes through the use of interactive 3D diagrams. The program allows users to conceptualize difficult yet important geologic principles by creating and interacting with geologic block models. Once again, the creationist model is superior, as it can more easily accommodate exceptions to the general rule, while easily explaining the general principles. The visualization software is mainly used to assist with paper-based activities such as geologic mapping. If you examine rock structures found anywhere in the world, you will not find all the layers mentioned in the geologic column anywhere.
