Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the foundations of geology as a science and tells the story of how geology developed into a disciplined science through the pioneering work of Charles Lyell. It begins with the basic principles and methods of geology, including how to study and classify rocks, aqueous and volcanic. This book examines the succession and characteristics of sedimentary rocks, volcanic rocks, plutonic rocks, and metamorphic rocks, and details the different geological periods that are found within each type. The book is rounded out with a discussion of ore deposits, the formation of mountain chains, and the age of metamorphic rocks and ore deposits. By concluding with arguments for uniformitarianism, Lyell builds a solid foundation for further geological inquiry. This book is an indispensable guide to the fundamental principles of geology that continue to shape our understanding of the planet.
