Earth Science - Crustal Deformation

Explore the fascinating world of crustal deformation in this 31-minute lecture from Spahn's Science Lectures. Delve into the reasons behind rock deformation, understand the concept of stress as the primary cause, and examine various types of deformation. Investigate the factors influencing this geological process, and learn about different structural features including folds, anticlines, synclines, domes, and basins. Discover the mechanics of dip-slip faults, including normal, reverse, and thrust faults, as well as strike-slip faults. Conclude by understanding the formation and significance of joints in the Earth's crust.
