The study of rocks, even deformed, is the petrology if you are interested in its history and petrography if you are interested by the description of their present state. Structural geology is a study of deformation of rocks at a small scale. In French, its translation "géologie structurale" is the study of large scale to small scale deformation. It's synonymous to tectonics.
Small and Large scale
What is the limit between small and large scale structures ?
What is the difference (in behavior of the rock) between small and large scale structures due to the deformation of rocks ?
I do not understand the difference between structural geology and tectonics. My mother language is french.
