Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How were the Appalachian Mountains formed? Are the barrier islands moving? Is there gold in the Carolinas? The answers to these questions and many more appear in this reader-friendly guide to the geology of North Carolina and South Carolina. Exploring the Geology of the Carolinas pairs a brief geological history of the region with 31 field trips to easily accessible, often familiar sites in both states where readers can observe firsthand the evidence of geologic change found in rocks, river basins, mountains, waterfalls, and coastal land formations. Geologist Kevin Stewart and science writer Mary-Russell Roberson begin by explaining techniques geologists use to "read" rocks, the science of plate tectonics, and the formation of the Carolinas. The field trips that follow are arranged geographically by region, from the Blue Ridge to the Piedmont to the Coastal Plain. Richly illustrated and accompanied by a helpful glossary of geologic terms, this field guide is a handy and informative carry-along for hikers, tourists, teachers, and families--anyone interested in the science behind the sights at their favorite Carolina spots. Includes field trips to: Grandfather Mountain, N.C. Linville Falls, N.C. Caesars Head State Park, S.C. Reed Gold Mine, N.C. Pilot Mountain State Park, N.C. Raven Rock State Park, N.C. Sugarloaf Mountain, S.C. Santee State Park, S.C. Jockey's Ridge State Park, N.C. Carolina Beach State Park, N.C. and 21 more sites in the Carolinas!

Book Synopsis A Guide to the Geology of Southwestern Maine by : Arthur M. Hussey II
Download or read book A Guide to the Geology of Southwestern Maine written by Arthur M. Hussey II and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is a significant addition to Maine's literature for the naturalist. Arthur Hussey, Bowdoin College Professor of Geology emeritus, has produced an insightful and lucid explanation of the geology of southwestern Maine. No prerequisites are required to fully understand and appreciate this book. Based on Hussey's fifty-five years of field study, this is a boot-on-the-ground guide that is every bit as good as a textbook on the subject, but far more engaging. Reading it is almost like hearing him speak and personal anecdotes enliven the narrative. The guide is well illustrated with Hussey's own photos, figures and maps. The table summarizing the geological events, glossary of terms and an index are valuable features. The reader will develop an understanding of the southwestern Maine's rock outcrops, its landscape and the forces that account for them.

Book Synopsis The Field Guide to New Zealand Geology by : Jocelyn Thornton
Download or read book The Field Guide to New Zealand Geology written by Jocelyn Thornton and published by Penguin Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first field guide written for the general public and beginners in geology in New Zealand. Now fully revised and updated, it shows travellers in New Zealand something of the tremendous variety of our rocks, minerals and fossils and describes what to look for in many areas where rock formations are prominent. It covers the history of New Zealand from its beginnings on the sea floor some 600 million years ago to its present patchwork landscape of volcano, range and plain. This land was formed from many different layers of rock - volcanic flows, forest debris, ocean mud. All these have special characteristics, which are explained and illustrated to enable readers to find the layers and understand their origins and what they can tell us about the landscapes of the past. The crystals that grew in the rocks and the remains of living creatures that were preserved are also illustrated and described. Written in simplified terms, it includes an introductory chapter on general geology, A geological time chart and quick reference maps of the North Island and the South Island for travellers.
