Microtectonics (Microtectonics)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Microtectonics is the interpretation of small-scale deformation structures in rocks. They are studied by optical microscope and contain abundant information on the history and type of deformation and metamorphism in a rock and are therefore used by most geologists to obtain data for large-scale geological interpretations. This advanced textbook contains a large number of photographs and explanatory drawings, special chapters on related techniques, a chapter on microgauges and a simple, non-mathematical treatment of continuum mechanics with practical examples. Special terms are explained in boxes. This textbook is suited for independent use during optical studies on microstructures as a reference manual and as a manual for short courses.
Book Info
Advanced textbook treats common microstructures such as intracrystalline fabrics, foliations, porphyroblasts, veins, fringes, shear sense indicators, and gives a simple non-mathematical background in continuum mechanics.
