This site is a module for introductory structural geology. The module is web-based and contains text, illustrations, exercises, interactive models, and animations. The module also contains laboratory exercises and a practice exam. Topics include stress and strain, faults, folds, and geologic maps. This site would be useful for teachers looking for interactive teaching tools, or could be used by students as a self-paced tutorial.
