Geochronologic and Geochemical Data from Mesozoic Rocks in the Black Mountain Area Northeast of Victorville, San Bernardino County, California
ISBN: 9781497549852 / Angielski / Miękka / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

A pioneering examination of the three-dimensionality of the earth from the perspective of history and the humanities.

On this adventure, Smythe extensively explored the Valley, identifying and collecting flowers and seeds from among... In 1931, a party of British mountaineers-including Frank S. Smythe-on their way back from a successful ascent of Mount Kamet, were looking for shelter...

Mountains: The Origins of the Earth’s Mountain Systems
ISBN: 9781780460666 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most mountains on Earth occur within relatively well-defined, narrow belts separated by wide expanses of much lower-lying ground. Their distribution is not random but is caused by the now well-understood geological processes of plate tectonics. Some mountains mark the site of a former plate collision where one continental plate has ridden up over another, resulting in a zone of highly deformed and elevated rocks. Others are essentially volcanic in origin. The most obvious mountain belts today-the Himalayas, the Alps and the Andes, for example-are situated at currently active plate boundaries....
