One of the purpose of this web site is to communicate
the physical and geometric elegance of Geologic
Structures within the Earth's Crust and to describe the ways in which
Geologic Structures reflect the nature and origin of crustal deformation
through time. Geologic Structures provide part of basis for recognizing
and reconstructing the profound changes that have marked the physical evolution
of the Earth's outer layers. Understanding the nature and extensiveness
of deformational structures in the Earth's crust has both scientific value and
practical benefit. However; there is a philosophical value as well. Our
perceptions of who we are and where are in time and space are shaped by
facts and interpretations regarding the historical development the crust
of the planet on which we live. Knowing fully the extent to which
our planet is dynamic, no static, is a reminder of the lively and special
environment we inhabitant. In order to understand the Geologic Structures,
it is necessary to develop and explain the following three terms:
