In structural geology what's the difference between true slip and net slip in the context of faults?
True Slip and Net Slip are the same thing. We typically use the term "Net Slip" for the slip vector on a fault that describes the magnitude (length) and orientation (trend and plunge) of a line between two formerly adjacent points.
What is pure geology?
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.
What is the study of the origin history and structure of the earth?
geology
Why is Uniformitarianism considered to be the foundation of modern geology?
Modern geology is geology
What is the science of rocks?
The science that deals with Earth's history of rocks is called geology. There are geologists that study rocks for a living.

Why do you call some folds passive folds?
(geology) A fold in which the mechanism of folding, either flow or slip, crosses the boundaries of the strata at random.
Shearing creates what types of faults?
In geology, shearing occurs when rocks slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions. The kind of fault created by shearing is called a strike-slip fault.
What is a drop slip?
In geology: it's mean that there is a narrow ridge (steeper side) in the outcrop
What are the types of stress?
Stress, in geology, is pressure and can result in an earthquake should the stress in a rock layer suddenly slip when the rock fractures and there is a sudden movement between the two surfaces.
What is the study of the earths structure?

How is geology and historical geology different?
Historic geology was based in the distant past and geology is in modern times.
