Summary:

This book focuses on advances in structural geology, a branch of geotectonics that studies the occurrence, distribution, and deformation of rocks in the Earth's crust. It explores the primary and secondary forms of geological structures, the genesis of tectonic deformations, and their implications for understanding Earth's geological history. The text highlights topics such as heat flow asymmetry in mantle plumes, oil and gas potential in specific geological regions, and geothermal energy systems. It also examines the role of structural geology in resource exploration, environmental geology, and engineering applications, including stability assessments for human-engineered structures. The book is intended for geologists, researchers, and professionals in fields such as petroleum and mining geology, environmental science, and geotechnical engineering. The research employs mapping techniques, observational data, and theoretical frameworks like plate tectonics to analyze geological structures on continental and global scales. Generated by AI.
