Structural geology is the study of the architecture of the earth's crust which has developed due to deformation. It address the form, symmetry, geometry and certainly the elegance and artistic rendering of the earth's crust on scales.
It's important to the petroleum industry because most of the petroleum accumulations have migrated from their source rock into the geological structural traps such as faults and folds.
angel of an inclined plane with the horizontal plane but it is measured with inclined plane is called pitch
depends on what you're focused on. There are many fields of expertise for a geologist. For example oil geology, geophysics, mineralogy, paleontology, structural geology and many others. With those fields you can work usually on a mining corporation. Very lucrative!
study of the earth
the application of geology to many fields for example economical geology, petro geology, enviromental geology this is related to the various human activities therefor it is called applied geology.
