Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book embarks on a geological expedition around the striking Grand Canyon district, unveiling its remarkable story of formation and alteration. The author traverses prominent landmarks such as the Echo Cliffs Monocline, the East Kaibab Monocline, the West Kaibab Fault, the Sevier…Fault, and the Toroweap Fault, meticulously analyzing their distinct characteristics and origins. This meticulous investigation challenges prevailing theories regarding the relative ages of the region's displacements and drainage lines, offering an alternative interpretation based on extensive field observations. The author argues that many of these displacements are much older than previously believed, having occurred before the establishment of the present river system. The book also sheds light on the influence of erosion, baseleveling, and volcanic activity in shaping the landscape. Furthermore, it illuminates the interplay between geological processes and the evolution of the region's diverse ecosystems. This in-depth exploration provides valuable insights into the geological forces that have sculpted this awe-inspiring natural wonder. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
