The book present geologic processes so that students can understand the logic of scientific methods.
55964Physical geology : exploring the earth (with CD)
This book provides a comprehensive overview for the physical aspects of the Earth's processes, above and below the surface. The overarching emphasis is on plate tectonics and the role that shifting plates have on the Earth's dynamic systems. The text also integrates environmental and economic geology themes throughout.
55965Physical geology : laboratory text and manual : a guide for study of the earth (CD)
Geology uses the scientific method to explain natural aspects of the earth - for example, how mountains form or why oil resources are concentrated in some rocks and not in others. Explains how and why Earth's surface, and its interior, are constantly changing. Relates this constant change to the major geological topics of interaction of the atmosphere, water and rock, the modern theory of plate tectonics, and geologic time. These concepts form a framework of the book.
