Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This is an interesting, readable introductory survey of Kansas geology. Illustrated with both full-color and black-and-white photographs, line drawings, maps, and figures, it is designed specifically to provide non-technical information for the general reader. The introduction sketches Kansas geologic history; discusses how Kansas fits into the geology of the North American continent; explores the concepts of geologic time, labeling, and periods; and describes the natural forces of deposition and erosion. The section on landscapes introduces the geological and natural features of Kansas--those features that can be seen on the surface--by describing the characteristics of its eleven physiographic regions. The chapters on rocks and minerals describe what they are composed of, how they were formed, and where they are found. This section includes discussions of sedimentary rocks--limestones, sandstones, shales, chalk--as well as mineral fuels, minerals, and sedimentary structures. Another chapter reviews Kansas fossil history, describes common fossils and their locations, and explains why Kansas is world-famous among fossil collectors. Codice articolo 00107631032

Book Condition: As New. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 208 pp 4to. This book is intended for those who have little or no background in earth sciences but want to learn more about the geology of Kansas. The rocks and soils of Kansas contain all sorts of stories- of seas inhabited by ferocious sharks, of swamps that stretched for miles, and dust storms that make the 1930s Dust Bowl look clean by comparison. Ancient oceans, saline seas larger than the Great Salt Lake, earthquakes, and even volcanoes are recorded in Kansas rocks if you know how to read them. This book will get the reader started on how Kansas has developed since prehistory. A clean very presentable copy. Codice articolo 019775
