Why is the study of deformation and deformed rock important? What will be an ideal response?
Deformed rock layers provide a record of the types and intensities of forces that operated during the
rocks' history, which can tell us about the geologic history of the region. Engineers need to study the
rock where they are planning to build sites for dams, bridges, and nuclear power plants, especially if
the deformation is recent or ongoing. Also, petroleum and natural gas is found in geologic structures.
