Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on early geological research studying the origin of coherent and incoherent materials, dividing them into two classes: diluvial and alluvial. Diluvial detritus is the result of irregular inundations, while alluvial detritus results from everyday causes. The author uses a series of surveys in England to prove the distinctions between these two classifications, supported by evidence from the organic remains found within each type of deposit. Their research was critical in establishing the order of deposition of geological formations, which was later used by other scientists to further the study of historical geology.
