What is structural geology and a magazine discussing about an engineering project affected by structural geology?
Structural geologists look at features in rock caused by deformation, that is, by the action of forces acting on and within the earth's crust. These structures include faults and folds, which significantly affect the strength of rock and must be considered in the construction of tunnels, buildings, dams and other engineering projects that rely on that rock for their foundation.
What does a conevection current mean?
