Introduction to Geology Volume 2 : Earth History Part II Early Stages of Earth History LOW-PRICED EDITION
This texbook is the first of two separately published but integrated parts which together provide a compherensive outline of earth history covering the whole of the geological time-span on a world -wide basis. The two books are presented as an entity, integrating the records of events that took place at or near the earth's surface with those of tectonic, metamorphic and magmatic events occuringat depth in the crust. The emphasis is on the development of large geological units such as mobile belts and basins of deposition. Local details are presented, where appropriate, in relation to the evolution of these units. Economic mineral deposits are discussed in the same context.
Part II deals with the later stages in the history of the geological evolution of large crustal units from a point in time about a thousand million years ago until the present day. Many of the themes introduced in Part II are developed in this book.
