What is Understanding Joint Sets in Geology about?

- Joints are fractures with little to no shear displacement between the walls. They form due to tectonic stresses, folding, faulting, uplift or cooling. - Joints often form in sets with similar orientations that intersect at consistent angles. The geometry, spacing, and aperture of joints provide important information. - Joint spacing follows relationships with bed thickness, lithology, strain, and structural position, though the mechanisms controlling spacing are still debated. Uniform spacing may result
