Dynamic Geology (With References to Structural Phenomena in Their Relation to Processes): A Recitation Text (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore how rocks change under pressure, heat, and time, and discover how coastlines wear away and rebuild.
This recitation text introduces metamorphic processes that shape rocks, from how slate becomes schist to how gneiss forms bands of minerals. It explains how heat from intrusions and vapors alter surrounding rock, and what makes different rock types distinct in texture and composition. The book also covers the role of waves, erosion, and coastal transport in shaping shorelines and sediments.
- Learn how mineral alignment creates cleavage, schistosity, and banding in metamorphic rocks
- See how contact metamorphism differs from larger-scale intrusion effects on nearby rocks
- Understand coastal erosion, wave action, undertows, and longshore currents shaping shores
- Get a clear picture of how sediments are transported and deposited in oceans and lakes
