  "term": "Lineament",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A large-scale linear feature on the Earth's surface, such as a fault line, fracture zone, or straight stream course, that indicates an underlying geological structure. These features are identified from satellite imagery, aerial photographs, or topographic maps. The analysis of lineament patterns provides insights into regional stress fields and potential locations of subsurface fracture systems that could form hydrocarbon traps or migration pathways.",
