  • Description: The scope of Structural Geology and Tectonics is to identify, characterize and interpret the movements and strains of the lithosphere in all scales. Mapping is a fundamental part of this study. It is possible to map not only outcropping structures, but also those located in the subsoil, from the crust to the upper mantle, both on the continents and in the oceans. In the construction of structural and tectonic maps, data obtained by field observations, data obtained by geophysical surveys and remote sensing data are used. Technological advances and the digital age now allow access to and mapping of the deep zones of the lithosphere, the seafloor, the remote continental and insular areas, and beyond, the other planetary surfaces.
