Teaching Strain Theory in Structural Geology Using Graphics Programs for the Apple Macintosh Computer.

McEachran, David Ballard; Marshak, Stephen

Journal of Geological Education, v34 n3 p191-95 May 1986

Describes three microcomputer programs that allow geology students to deform two-dimensional images on a computer screen and then to measure changes in angular relationships. Two of the programs simulate pure and simple shear and the third simulates variations in shear strain that occur in shear zones. (ML)
