What reading level is Structural Geology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The elongation of fossils in the plane of cleavage has been observed in cleavable rocks. (5) Distortion of beds and attitude of folds. Folds often show the direction of shortening of the deformed rock mass. (6) Relations to intrusives. Intrusions of great masses of igneous rocks, and particularly deep-seated batholiths, exert pressure against their walls. Any cleavage developed in the sur- rounding rocks is parallel to the periphery of the intrusive masses.
It is concluded then that the longer ...dimensions of mineral constituents are parallel to the directions or planes of elongation of the rock mass. Thus an adequate statement of the relations of rock cleavage to the stresses which have produced it must be a statement which will cover the various ways in which stress has elongated and shortened rock masses.
Relations of cleavage to stress: In the simplest possible terms stress has been effective in distorting rock masses (1) (see pp. 16- 21) by non-rotational strain, in which the axes of stress and strain remain mutually constant throughout the deformation, and (2) by rotational strain in which there is a continuous change in the posi- tion of the strain axes as compared with the stress axes during the distortion.
