Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Neuware - California has some of the most distinctive and unique geology in the United States. It is the only state with all three types of plate boundaries, an extraordinary history of earthquakes and volcanoes, and many rocks and minerals found nowhere else. The Golden State includes both the highest and lowest points in the continental US and practically every conceivable geological feature known. This book discusses not only the important geologic features of each region in California but also the complex geologic four-dimensional puzzle of how California was assembled, beginning over two billion years ago. The author provides an up-to-date and authoritative review of the geology and geomorphology of each geologic province, as well as recent revelations of the tectonic history of California's past. There are separate chapters on some of California's distinctive geologic resources, including gold, oil, water, coastlines, and fossils. An introductory section describes basic rock and mineral types and fundamental aspects of plate tectonics, so that students and other readers can make sense of the bizarre, wild, and crazy jigsaw puzzle that is California's geological history.In this second edition, the book has an entirely new final section, 'California's Environmental Hazards and Challenges,' with new chapters on California's landslides, air and water pollution, renewable energy, and the future of climate change in California.Key Features - Thoroughly updates the market-leading textbook on California's geology - Is written by an author with 30 years of teaching geology and leading field trips in California - Introduces California's unique geological history - Covers fundamentals of geology - Characterizes specific geographical regions of California - Describes major geological resources of California - Summarizes the paleontology of California - Reviews the likely impact of climate change on California's environment Related TitlesHollocher, K.
