Abstract
We are now proceeding to present a review of the work done on joints on all six continents and on islands in two oceans. This will update the author’s earlier reviews of the subject (Scheidegger 1985c, 1993a, 1995) with emphasis on new material: It will be shown that a much broader synthesis can now be obtained of the subject than was possible heretofore: In practically all instances, a direct connection between orientations of joints and those of other planar geomorphological and tectonic features can be established.
