Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author offers a revolutionary analysis of rock structures and classifications. The author contends that most rocks, including volcanic and igneous rocks, originate from sedimentary formations. Through microscopic and field evidence, the author challenges the prevalent theory that igneous rocks stem from Earth's core. The book presents evidence that volcanic activity began in the earliest ages of Earth and was an intermittent process. Additionally, it argues that rocks of different ages share the same origins and have contrasting appearances only due to alteration and other environmental factors. The author's evidence and reasoning provide a fresh perspective on the formation and evolution of rocks, challenging traditional understandings and opening new avenues for research.
