This volume of text is part of a much larger treatise on petroleum geology developed as an information series for exploration and development of oil and gas fields. This volume contains papers related to extensional, compressional, and strike-slip deformation. Extensional deformation includes papers discussing crustal rifting and normal faulting. Compressional deformation includes papers discussing foreland deformation. In most cases, these papers use the Rocky Mountains as an example. Strike-slip deformation includes papers discussing strike-slip or wrench fault deformation processes and the consequent effects these processes have on folding, faulting, basin formation, and sedimentation.
