Hardback. Etat : Very Good. The Student's Elements of Geology by Sir Charles Lyell is a comprehensive exploration of geological formations, focusing on the classification and origin of rocks. The text is structured to first introduce the reader to the fundamental types of rocks: aqueous, volcanic, Plutonic, and metamorphic. Aqueous rocks, also known as sedimentary rocks, are characterized by their stratification and fossil content, formed through the deposition of materials in water. Volcanic rocks are the result of igneous activity at or near the Earth's surface, often lacking fossils and stratification. Plutonic rocks, such as granite, are formed from molten material at great depths, exhibiting a crystalline texture due to slow cooling. Metamorphic rocks, including gneiss and schist, originate from the transformation of existing rock types under heat and pressure, resulting in a crystalline structure. Lyell emphasizes the importance of understanding these rocks not only as physical entities but also as chronological records of Earth's history. The text delves into the processes that lead to the formation of these rocks, such as sedimentation, volcanic activity, and metamorphism, and discusses their distribution and characteristics. By examining these geological structures, Lyell provides insights into the dynamic processes that have shaped the Earth's crust over time. N° de réf. du vendeur 00075859893
