Opis

Geology for Nongeologists introduces basic concepts in geology: how rocks, minerals, and fossils are classified, how wind, ice, and water have shaped the earth, how mountains are formed, and how volcanoes, geysers, earthquakes, glaciers, and groundwater work to modify the physical structure of Earth. Written for both the technical practitioner in the field and the student in the classroom, this book is accessible for a range of readers, including those who have no experience with geology or other sciences.
