Structural geology is the study of the three-dimensional distribution and orientation of rocks and how they deform and change over time. This specialized skill is essential for understanding geological processes such as the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and the development of mineral deposits. Structural geologists use various tools, including field observations, geological maps, and laboratory techniques, to analyze the structures and their properties. This knowledge can be applied to various fields, including natural resource exploration, civil engineering, and hazard assessment.
