Structural geology is the study of the three-dimensional distribution of rock units and their deformation histories to understand the forces and processes that shape the Earth's crust. It is crucial for interpreting geologic history, predicting geological hazards, and exploring natural resources like hydrocarbons and minerals.

Hydrocarbons are organic compounds composed solely of hydrogen and carbon atoms, serving as the primary constituents of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. They are categorized into alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes based on the types of bonds between carbon atoms, and play a crucial role in energy production and chemical manufacturing.

Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic substances with a defined chemical composition and crystalline structure, essential for various geological and biological processes. They are fundamental in the formation of rocks and are critical resources for industrial applications, nutrition, and technological advancements.
