Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. An indispensable source for navigating California's complex geological composition, this book presents a detailed gravity map of the state and its continental margin, and correlates it with geophysical and geological data. Conceived and assembled by the California Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and various institutes of the University of California, the map combines over 60,000 land measurements and 40,000 sea measurements. Its insights are crucial for interpreting the state's surface features to reveal details of the Golden State's crust and upper mantle, including deductions about overall thickness, density, depth, and tectonic history. The authors pay special attention to identifying anomalies in sediment thickness, basement depth, and fault characteristics, giving careful consideration to variations in gravity measurements attributable to rock type, density distribution, and terrain morphology. A product of decades of collaborative research, this monumental study provides foundational information for understanding the geographical and geological evolution of California's diverse landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334497537_0
