A variety of techniques and tools are available to explorationists for analyzing various aspects of a structural play. These cover a broad range, both in scale and type, from plate tectonic studies to microscopic examination of grain-scale structures and from outcrop studies to computer-intensive numerical modeling.

In this section, each technique or tool is discussed, emphasizing the following:

  • The information it provides
  • How to get that information
  • When, where, or how to use the information
  • Examples in the literature
