Geology : An Introduction - Rock and Mineral Kit Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The theme of Geology: An Introduction is the dynamic nature of planet Earth.

Geologic materials are constantly being recycled through geologic processes that are continuously reshaping the planet.

The textbook, with numerous color photographs and diagrams, clearly discusses minerals and rocks and their formation, geologic time, plate tectonics, weathering and erosion, downslope movement of soil and rocks, surface and ground water, stream networks, glaciers, deserts, stresses that naturally bend and break strata, and earthquakes.

The text concludes with dangers resulting from the dynamism that impacts human society - a warning to those who think that we have conquered the planet and tamed its fury.
