Synopsis
Explore how the earth’s forces shape rocks and land, from the moon to mountain tops. This guide presents dynamical geology and petrography as they come alive in a museum collection, linking big ideas to real specimens and vivid displays.
This edition focuses on the forces now at work on the earth’s surface and the rocks they form. It also explains how rocks are put together, and how the history of our planet is read through minerals, fossils, and structures. You’ll see how labels and numbers connect shelves, text, and specimens, making it easier to follow the story of the earth.
- Understand the three big branches of geology: dynamical, structural, and historical, and how they fit together.
- Learn how astronomical relations, oceans, atmosphere, and earthquakes illuminate the earth’s past and present.
- See how rocks like limestone, dolomite, gypsum, and coal are formed, and how their textures tell a story.
- Discover how topography, uplift, erosion, and river systems reveal the history of landscapes.
Ideal for readers new to geology and curious museum visitors, this edition helps you connect everyday rocks to the deep forces that shape our world.
