Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book systematically explores the geological composition of the San Francisco peninsula, California, through a thorough examination of its rocks, minerals, and geological formations. The author, who is an expert in geology and petrography, provides a detailed account of the region's geological features, including sandstones, shales, serpentine, and igneous rocks like diabase and hornblende diorite. The book delves into the complex structure of the peninsula, characterized by faults and folding, offering insights into the forces that have shaped its unique geological landscape. The discussion of three main fault linesā"the Lone Mountain Fault, the San Bruno Fault, and the San Andreas-Portola Faultā"sheds light on the region's tectonic history and seismic activity. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of the Franciscan series of rocks, which form the foundation of the peninsula, and examines the processes that have contributed to their formation and metamorphism. The book also explores the presence of glaucophane schists, a type of metamorphic rock, providing valuable insights into the region's geological evolution. This book offers a wealth of information for geologists, earth scientists, and anyone interested in the geological history of California. By deciphering the geological record of the San Francisco peninsula, the author contributes to our understanding of the dynamic forces that have shaped the region over millions of years.
