About This Book
Exercises in Physical Geology provides a structured introduction to the study of Earth materials, processes, history, and physical features.
Topics include minerals and crystal growth, mineral identification, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, as well as relative dating and geologic time.
The book examines maps and aerial photographs alongside landforms and surface processes such as stream erosion, mass movement, groundwater, glaciation, shoreline change, and eolian activity.
Later exercises address structural geology, seismology, plate tectonics, divergent, transform, and convergent boundaries, plumes and hotspots, and planetary geology.
