Definition:
Branch of geology that deals with the form, arrangement, and internal structure of rocks, and especially with the description, representation, and analysis of structures, chiefly on a moderate to small scale. (The subject is similar to tectonics, but the latter is generally used for the broader regional or historical phases). [Glossary of Geology, 4th ed.]
