More information about English language requirements SelectionThe selection is based on 1-165 credits.Course AimThe course will provide the basic tools for structural analysis of rocks and regions. After the course the student will be able to recognize common structures and explain their formation. The student will be able to use stereographic projection on structural data.ContentsPlatetectonics: Diverging plateboundaries and ocean floor spreading. Plate boundaries at fracture zones. Converging plate boundaries and collision zones. Structural analysis: Descriptive geometric analysis inkluding mapping and stereographic projection. Stress and Strain. Kinematiic och dynamic analysis. Primary structures: Primary sedimentary and volcanic structures used for structural analysis Secondary structures: Normal and reversed faults, thrusts and nappes, Strike-slip faults. Stress distribution at faults. Folding, lineation and schistosity. Fractures and joints.RealizationTutorial including practicals. Field work is also included in the course.ExaminationProject work and written examination at the end of the course. Students who have failed an examination on five occasions will not be allowed further resits.ExaminerGlenn BarkTransition termsThe course O0007K is equal to KGO003Literature.
