Course overview
Structural Geology focuses on the deformation of rocks and the forces that shape the Earth’s crust. This course explores how stress and strain create folds, faults, fractures, and large-scale tectonic structures. Students learn to interpret geological formations, understand deformation mechanisms, and apply theory to real-world examples. On StudyGenius, Structural Geology is taught through a gamified learning system where each topic begins with clear explanations followed by interactive quizzes that reinforce understanding through active recall.
This course is ideal for geology students, Earth science learners, and anyone preparing for structural geology exams.
Identify and analyse folds, faults, joints, and fractures in geological formations
