that is the bend in rock or the rock bed is not losing its complete cohesive force. when a fault is developed in the underlying units and only its affects are transferred in the upper unit, due to this flexure (bend) is developed in the stratum or strata. Later on, the previouly created flexure may be tranformed into a fault in the overlying units.
Structural geology is a branch of geology that deals with the arrangement of rocks in the Earth's crust and the deformation processes they have undergone. It focuses on the study of faults, folds, and other types of rock deformation to understand the tectonic forces and geological history of a region.
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
Strikes and dips are associated with the orientation of rock layers. The strike is the compass direction of a horizontal line on the rock surface, while the dip is the angle of inclination of the rock layer from the horizontal plane. They are fundamental in understanding the structural geology of rock formations.
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.
