Synopsis
This highly illustrated series examines, at introductory and general readership level, the world of geology. The volumes cover everything from the basic building blocks of geological study, fossils and minerals, to the complex workings of plate tectonics. Beginning with the early scientific evidence for continental drift this volume goes on to explore how plate tectonics work. Coverage includes the role of the seafloor, mountains, volcanoes, and what happens when continents collide. The author also discusses how plate tectonics has profoundly affected the evolution and extinction of species, and how it has shaped other planets in the universe.
