A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

There are two major pathways for the flow of energy and matter on Earth: (1) the hydrologic system—the circulation of water over Earth's surface and through its atmosphere powered by energy from the Sun, and (2) the tectonic system—the movement of material powered by heat from Earth's interior. These two unifying themes form the backbone of Earth's Dynamic Systems, providing a logical, well-crafted, spectacularly illustrated introduction to physical geology.

NEW TO THIS EDITION:

GeoLogic—Geologists have a unique way of reading the landscape and rocks. These essays illustrate in words and images how modern geologists interpret the world around us.

• Guided Tours: These animated tours of Earth's major landforms illustrate key concepts in a way the printed word and still pictures cannot.
