Book Synopsis Windows into the Earth by : Robert B. Smith
Download or read book Windows into the Earth written by Robert B. Smith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-05-25 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of years ago, the North American continent was dragged over the world's largest continental hotspot, a huge column of hot and molten rock rising from the Earth's interior that traced a 50-mile wide, 500-mile-long path northeastward across Idaho. Generating cataclysmic volcanic eruptions and large earthquakes, the hotspot helped lift the Yellowstone Plateau to more than 7,000 feet and pushed the northern Rockies to new heights, forming unusually large glaciers to carve the landscape. It also created the jewel of the U.S. national park system: Yellowstone. Meanwhile, forces stretching apart the western U.S. created the mountainous glory of Grand Teton National Park. These two parks, with their majestic mountains, dazzling geysers, and picturesque hot springs, are windows into the Earth's interior, revealing the violent power of the dynamic processes within. Smith and Siegel offer expert guidance through this awe-inspiring terrain, bringing to life the grandeur of these geologic phenomena as they reveal the forces that have shaped--and continue to shape--the greater Yellowstone-Teton region. Over seventy illustrations--including fifty-two in full color--illuminate the breathtaking beauty of the landscape, while two final chapters provide driving tours of the parks to help visitors enjoy and understand the regions wonders. Fascinating and informative, this book affords us a striking new perspective on Earth's creative forces.

Book Synopsis Geology of the Heise Volcanic Field, Island Park Basin, and The Yellowstone Volcanic Plateau by : William A Szary M S
Download or read book Geology of the Heise Volcanic Field, Island Park Basin, and The Yellowstone Volcanic Plateau written by William A Szary M S and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yellowstone Volcanic Plateau is the youngest volcanic complex at the leading edge of the Eastern Snake River Plain. The plateau consists of the Heise Volcanic Field, the Island Park Basin, and the Yellowstone National Park volcanic plateau. The Yellowstone Volcanic Plateau begins with discussing the Heise-Island Park volcanic center stratigraphy including ignimbrites and rhyolite units, and their correlatives. Pre- and post-caldera volcanism and eruptive center characteristics are presented before discussing the Yellowstone Plateau region. The Yellowstone Plateau stratigraphy and volcanism includes bimodal eruptive sequences of both rhyolitic and basaltic compositions involving at least three cycles of volcanism, collapse, and resurgence. Hydrothermal activity is associated with the most recent activity in the national park. The final chapter presents an organized field tour of the volcanic plateau beginning with the Heise Volcanic Center and ending with stops within the Grand Loop of Yellowstone National Park. Chapter 1 discusses the Heise Volcanic Center of the Eastern Snake River Plain. Chapter 2 presents post-caldera volcanism of the Heise Volcanic Field. Chapter 3 focuses on the Heise Eruptive Center applying a MELTS model to discuss the constraints on petrogenesis. Chapter 4 begins the Yellowstone Plateau regional discussion. Chapter 5 presents magmo-tectonic evolution. Chapter 6 continues the evolution cycle with discussing the evolution of the Snake River Plain and the Yellowstone volcanic axis. Chapter 7 discusses the origin and evolution of Yellowstone magmas. Chapter 8 presents a discussion on future volcanism in Yellowstone. Chapter 9 begins with an organized field tour of the Yellowstone Volcanic Plateau starting with the Heise volcanic center (5 stops). West Yellowstone National Park follows with 4 stops plus an optional side trip before entering the main Grand Loop portion of the tour (15 stops). Each segment of the field tour represents approximately one day excursions with some days taking more time than other days to complete. Some trail hikes are included with specific stops.

Book Synopsis Lava Flows and Domes by : Jonathan H. Fink
Download or read book Lava Flows and Domes written by Jonathan H. Fink and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of papers is based on a symposium held in 1987 at the Interna tional Union of Geology and Geodesy Congress in Vancouver, British Colum bia. The Symposium was planned as a follow-up to a session at the 1984 Geo logical Society of America Annual Meeting in Reno, Nevada, which dealt with the emplacement of silicic lava domes. In both cases, emphasis was placed on the physical and mechanical rather than chemical aspects of lava flow. The IUGG Symposium consisted of two lecture sessions, a poster session, and two discussion periods, and had 22 participants. The contributions to this volume are all based on papers presented in the various parts of the Sym posium. The motivation for studying lava flow mechanics is both practical and scientific. Scientists and government agencies seek to more effectively predict the hazards associated with active lavas. Recovering mineral resources found in lava flows and domes also requires an understanding of their emplacement. From a more theoretical standpoint, petrologists view lava studies as a way to directly observe the rheologic consequences of mixing crystals, bubbles, and solid blocks of country rock with silicate liquids. This information can then be used to constrain processes occurring in the concealed conduits, dikes, and chambers that feed flows and domes on the surface.
