In this free online course learn about the deformation of rocks and their development over geological time scales. This free online course provides an introductory level understanding of the main concepts in structural geology. Deformed rocks and structures conceal a series of tales, the decoding of which challenges the structural geologist in presenting evolutionary theories of our planet's development. Start this course and learn about the architecture of rock formations and their development over geological time periods.
