Cyprus Paperback / softback
by Stephen Edwards, Karen Hudson-Edwards, Joe Cann, John Malpas, Costas Xenophontos
Part of the Classic Geology in Europe series
Paperback / softback
Description
The island of Cyprus is a truly classic area of geology in Europe.
Perhaps nowhere else on Earth does so small an area provide such an excellent illustration of the dynamics of Earth processes through abundant exposures of spectacular and diverse geology.
The geology, natural resources and climate of Cyprus have enabled civilizations to flourish, and world-renowned archaeological sites date as far back as the Neolithic period.
Much of the wealth and development of the island has been based on copper, and evidence of its exploitation dates to at least the third millennium BC.
Cyprus is also a hazardous island. Modern and ancient settlements have been destroyed or abandoned as a consequence of earthquakes and landslides.
This authoritative work will appeal to all those with an interest in geology who visit this exceptional Mediterranean destination.
