Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ancestral Rocky Mountain system covered the entire current Rocky Mountain Range in New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, and Idaho. This presentation focuses on evidence of uplifts and basins within the Colorado portion of the Ancestral Rocky Mountains. Chapter 1 presents the regional tectonic setting of the Ancestral Rocky Mountains including a brief review of the Ouachita, Antler, and Ancestral Rocky Mountain orogenies before presenting theoretical discussion on subduction flattening theory, the causal mechanisms, and consequences. The chapter continues with the regional geologic history from the Devonian through the Pennsylvanian Period. Chapter 2 discusses the geologic history of Colorado including evidence in Colorado's state park system which displays different formation remnants of sediments shed from the demise of the Ancestral Rockies. Chapter 3 continues with the Central Colorado Trough and the various formations representing erosion of the mountains. Chapter 4 addresses the Eagle Basin Evaporites, The Eagle Valley Formation in a series of section descriptions, Pennsylvanian geologic history, and Pennsylvanian climate in Colorado. Chapter 5 briefly discusses the Apishapa Uplift and Huerfano Park Basin geology. Chapter 6 reviews the Uncompahgre-San Luis Uplift and the Unaweep Canyon. The final Chapter 7 reviews the Paradox Basin formations which represent sediments shed from the rising Uncompahgre highlands.

Download or read book Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau written by Ronald C. Blakey and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine seeing the varied landscapes of the earth as they used to look throughout hundreds of millions of years of earth history. Tropical seas lap on the shores of an Arizona beach. Immense sand dunes shift and swirl in Sahara-like deserts in Utah and New Mexico. Ancient rivers spill from a mountain range in Colorado that was a precursor to the modern Rockies. Such flights of geologic fancy are now tangible through the thought-provoking and beautiful paleogeographic maps, reminiscent of the maps in world atlases we all paged through as children, of Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau.Ron Blakey of Northern Arizona University is one of the world's foremost authorities on the geologic history of the Colorado Plateau. For more than fifteen years, he has meticulously created maps that show how numerous past landscapes gave rise to the region's stunning geologic formations. Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau is the first book to showcase Blakey's remarkable work. His maps are accompanied by text by Wayne Ranney, geologist and award-winning author of Carving Grand Canyon. Ranney takes readers on a fascinating tour of the many landscapes depicted in the maps, and Blakey and Ranney's fruitful collaboration brings the past alive like never before.Features: More than 70 state-of-the-art paleogeographic maps of the region and of the world, developed over many years of geologic research Detailed yet accessible text that covers the geology of the plateau in a way nongeologists can appreciate More than 100 full-color photographs, diagrams, and illustrations A detailed guide of where to go to see the spectacular rocks of the region

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'sedimentary cover' refers to the stratified rocks of youngest Proterozoic and Phanerozoic age that rest upon the largely crystalline basement rocks of the continental interior. This volume presents data and interpretations of the geophysics of the craton and summarizes the craton's tectonic evolution. It also presents the stratigraphy, structural history, and economic geology of specific sedimentary basins (e.g. Appalachian basin) and regions (e.g. Rocky Mountains). It concludes with a discussion of the currently popular theories of cratonal tectonics, & unresolved questions are identified.

Download or read book Ancient Landscapes of Western North America written by Ronald C. Blakey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allow yourself to be taken back into deep geologic time when strange creatures roamed the Earth and Western North America looked completely unlike the modern landscape. Volcanic islands stretched from Mexico to Alaska, most of the Pacific Rim didn’t exist yet, at least not as widespread dry land; terranes drifted from across the Pacific to dock on Western Americas’ shores creating mountains and more volcanic activity. Landscapes were transposed north or south by thousands of kilometers along huge fault systems. Follow these events through paleogeographic maps that look like satellite views of ancient Earth. Accompanying text takes the reader into the science behind these maps and the geologic history that they portray. The maps and text unfold the complex geologic history of the region as never seen before. Winner of the 2021 John D. Haun Landmark Publication Award, AAPG-Rocky Mountain Section

This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beware, this 300-page book is education in entertainment-clothing! The richly illustrated 8.5x11-inch volume presents a comprehensible blend of history and geology from Red Rock Canyon Open Space in Colorado Springs. There is something here for a wide audience; a family from Florida who homeschool purchased the very first copy. Red Rock Canyon Open Space is a 2003 addition to the Colorado Springs park system. The authors draw forth threads of history and geology that follow hundreds of millions of years of Earth history as well as the settlement and industrialization of the Pikes Peak Region. Here is the backstory of the park, from dinosaurs and ancient sand dunes to gold mills and Denver Capitol Hill mansions. The book covers exploration and mapping, geology of Red Rock Canyon (and Colorado Springs), quarrying and mining, and historic buildings built with Red Rock stone. Red Rock Canyon Open Space is one of the many locations in the Pikes Peak Region where geology can be seen in the field. Another feature of the book is a scattering of Adult-Kid activities, thought-provoking challenges to be shared by adults and children using the book and, especially, visiting the park. With this book, the authors help make geology more understandable and interesting to the inquisitive visitor, thereby enriching their experience with Red Rock Canyon Open Space.

Download or read book Geology and Landscape Evolution written by Joseph A. DiPietro and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geology and Landscape Evolution: General Principles Applied to the United States, Second Edition, is an accessible text that balances interdisciplinary theory and applications within the physical geography, geology, geomorphology and climatology of the United States. The vast diversity of terrain and landscape across the United States makes this an ideal tool for geoscientists worldwide who research the country's geological and landscape evolution. The book provides an explanation of how landscape forms, how it evolves and why it looks the way it does. This new edition is fully updated with greater detail throughout and additional figures, maps, drawings and photographs. Rather than limiting the coverage specifically to tectonics or to the origin and evolution of rocks with little regard for the actual landscape beyond general desert, river and glacial features, this book concentrates specifically on the origin of the landscape itself, with specific and exhaustive reference to examples from across the United States. The book begins with a discussion of how rock type and rock structure combine with tectonic activity, climate, isostasy and sea level change to produce landscape and then explores predicting how landscape will evolve. The book goes on to apply those concepts to specific examples throughout the United States, making it a valuable resource for understanding theoretical geological concepts through a practical lens. - Presents the complexities of physical geography, geology, geomorphology and climatology of the United States through an interdisciplinary, highly accessible approach - Offers hundreds of full-color figures, maps and photographs that capture the systematic interaction of land, rock, rivers, glaciers, global wind patterns and climate, including Google Earth images - Provides a thorough assessment of the logic, rationale, and tools required to understand how to interpret landscape and the geological history of the Earth - Features exercises that conclude each chapter, aiding in the retention of key concepts - Updated with greater detail throughout and additional figures, maps, drawings and photographs - Includes additional subheadings so that material is easier to find and digest - Includes an all-new chapter on glaciation and expanded exercises using Google Earth images to enhance understanding
