This site provides a collection of material on folds - one of the most common
form of tectonic structures. You can gain access to topics by clicking on the
icons on the right. If you are new to geology then start at the introduction.
The sections on describing folds and fold
mechanisms are particularly suited to first year undergraduates (especially
those taking the module EARS1053 in Leeds!) as these cover much of the key material.
The section on polyphase folding is more advanced.
If you would like a tour of the wonderful range of fold structures then why
not flick through the picture gallery?
