The 16 pages that link to Structural geology, each with the reason it gives.

• Petroleum geologyRelated: Deformation creates many of the geometries that control petroleum traps.

• Engineering geologyRelated: Discontinuities can control slope failure, seepage, and the stability of excavations.

• FoliationNarrower topic: Foliation orientations help reconstruct deformation within rocks and regions.

• Rock mechanicsCompared with: Structural geology reconstructs geological history; rock mechanics focuses on behavior under specified engineering conditions.

• Strike and dipNarrower topic: Strike and dip are foundational observations for describing geological structures.

• PetrologyCompared with: It emphasizes geometry and deformation; petrology emphasizes composition, formation, and transformation.

• SchistRelated: Schistose fabrics preserve evidence of strain and the direction of deformation.

• Paleocurrent analysisNarrower topic: Deformation can rotate or tilt indicators, requiring restoration before measurement.

• CataclasiteNarrower topic: Interpreting cataclasite links its microscopic fabric to larger fault structures.

• BoudinageNarrower topic: Boudinage is used to interpret structures and deformation in the Earth's crust.

• GeologistRelated: Rock folds and faults preserve evidence of forces and motion.

• GeomechanicsCompared with: It reconstructs geological structures and histories, whereas geomechanics models material response to forces.

• Structural basinNarrower topic: Structural basins are one large-scale geometry studied in structural geology.

• GeodynamicsRelated: It examines deformation at scales that complement planetary-scale dynamic models.

• Geologic provinceRelated: Faults, folds, and other structures can define a province’s boundaries.

• TectoniteNarrower topic: Tectonite fabrics are evidence used to interpret geological structures.
