Synopsis

The Michigan Basin is rising—and so are the questions about how land, sea, and earthquakes shape our shores. This nonfiction study examines the late glacial and post-glacial uplift of the Michigan Basin and the earthquakes that have touched Michigan’s landscapes and mines. It weaves together field profiles, coastlines, beach ridges, and historical seismic events to explain how the region’s land has moved and how ancient shores record that movement. The book blends maps, diagrams, and narrative to show how uplift, tilting, and shorelines tell the story of a dynamic, changing basin.

- Learn how coastlines reveal past uplift and tilting across Green Bay, Door County, and the northern Great Lakes region.
- See how ancient lakes and beaches formed and were modified by post-glacial movement and seismic events.
- Explore detailed field observations, profiles, and illustrations that trace shoreline changes over time.
- Understand the earthquake history in Michigan, including notable shocks and their effects on mines, rails, and towns.

Ideal for readers of geology, Michigan history, and earth science who want a grounded, field-based view of post-glacial landscape change and seismicity.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
