Im not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I didnt see a general geology section....or new person's stupid questions section either :)
So Ive been learning about geological maps among many other things on my own and I noticed that there seems to be some significance given to faults in general geology and rockhounding. Could someone tell me why? What does a fault signify to a rockhounder? Why do geologists document every little one of them? |
