(1972) held it to be a branch of \u003cb\u003egeology\u003c/b\u003e (mostly, \u003cb\u003estructural geology\u003c/b\u003e) that is \u003cbr\u003e\nregional and general. It studies the \u003cb\u003estructure\u003c/b\u003e of the upper part of the crust in large \u003cbr\u003e\nregions. The popular textbook of Press and Siever (1978, p. 38) expands \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003etectonics\u003c/b\u003e to ...

Steep crystalline-basement faults, commonly indicated by potential-field anomalies, played a crucial role in evolution of continental cratonic platforms. In the Phanerozoic Western Canada Sedimentary Province, history of crustal block movements and warps is reconstructed from the distribution of depocenters, lithofacies and structures in structural-formational étages in sedimentary cover. Each étage is a rock succession formed during a particular tectonic stage; regional tectonic restructuring closes each stage, and the next stage represents a new tectonic regime. Practical tectonic analysis, based on observation of rocks and geophysical data, is a reliable guide for deciphering a region's geologic history and for resource exploration.
