About geologic structure:

Definition: General disposition, attitude, arrangement, and relative positions of the rock masses of a region or area; the sum total of the structural features of an area, resulting from such deformational processes as faulting, folding, and igneous intrusion. [Glossary of Geology, 4th ed.]
