A detailed look at the dynamics of the earth's mass and how its chemistry produces change. Its scope is broad. For instance, the set goes beyond the basics of climate change to explore many underlying factors surrounding the issue, including geothermometry and geobarometry, glacial events, and mass extinction theories. the set also explores earthquakes, their engineering, hazards, predictability, and the role of fault and mantle dynamics.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. As new, used but in great condition, one book is a library discard. This book offers a survey of the planet's structures from crust to core, as well as an introduction to the major developments in areas of study relative to the earth's composition, climate, and mineral resources. Earth's ability to support a diverse array of life is the serendipitous result of many complex and interrelated processes. A major theme of this book is the interconnected nature of these processes and stuctures, as well as their relation to life-sustaining features, which make Earth unique among known planets. Connections between core, mantle, and crust of the earth are evident in the differentiation processes that formed the earth and made it a habitable environment through the shaping effects of plate tectonics, volcanism, and mountain building. Geochemical processes added to these shaping influences in forming the atmosphere and hydrosphere that govern climate and other environmental features. As well as magmatism, gravity, etc. N° de réf. du vendeur 258
