Overview of Geologic Structures Part 2: Faults and Folds

The video tutorial covers rock deformation, focusing on faults and folding. It explains different fault types, such as normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults, and their formation processes. The concept of isostatic adjustment and subsidence is discussed, highlighting geological phenomena like the Catskill basin. Folding and faulting are explored, with examples from the Appalachian Mountains. Metamorphic processes, including cleavage and mineral formation, are explained. The tutorial concludes with a transition to studying Earth's structure.
