About this document
Rock Deformation: Brittle vs. Ductile by Mario Zuluaga is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Chapter 7 discusses the deformation of rocks in structural geology, focusing on brittle and ductile deformation, as well as the recognition and classification of faults. Brittle deformation results in fractures, while ductile deformation allows rocks to change shape without breaking. The chapter also emphasizes the significance of faults in understanding geological history, land stability, and groundwater movement.
