Because the "stress tensor" is discussed in structural geology, geophysics, fluid dynamics etc., I will say something about this sometimes mysterious, but in fact, rather simple concept. When the stress tensor matrix, which mathematically desribes the state of stress around a point, is multiplied (dot product) by the column vector which represents the unit vector that is normal to the surface of interest, the product is another vector which represets the stress vector acting on that surface. Putting it poetically, the state of stress around a point, and hence the matrix itself, holds the "potential" for a stress vector that may act on any surface that may pass through the point in question; however, the stress is only "realized" when one plane (defined by the surface normal) is identifed, by writing the column vector (the three numbers in the column matrix (vector) are the magnitudes of the x,y,z components of the surface normal, written in a column). The general form of a stress tensor is given by:
In this chapter we discuss the position, shape and the motion of rocks. In short: geodynamic processes measured in meters. This includes the discussion of strain and ventures therefore a bit into the field of structural geology. However, mostly we shall discuss processes like the elevation of mountain ranges, and the depth of the oceans, as well as the change of such parameters: kinematics. We begin with a consideration of the basics of strain. Our summary remains brief and the interested reader is referred to a number of excellent textbooks in the field of structural geology (Pollard and Fletcher 2006; Ramsay and Huber 1983; 1987; Ramsay and Lisle 2000; Twiss and Moores 1992; Pluijm and Marshack 1997).
To recognize, identify and interpret ductile deformation structures and their association in different tectonic contexts. This will be done both from a theoretical (genesis of structures) and analytical point of view (real structures). Emphasis will be placed on the student's acquisition of the ability to use the appropriate terminology of structural geology and the acquisition of skills to represent the structural characteristics throughout different methods of graphic representation (maps, cross-sections, detail schemes, stereographic projection and other specific techniques).
