Covers plate tectonics, starting with processes then moving to applications. This book provides students the tools for understanding plate tectonics before they learn to apply it. It contains a chapter on the Biosphere. It features various parts separated by 'The Art of Geology' that offers a literary, historical or artistic reference to geology.
Part One: The Third Planet. 1. Earth in Space: The Science of the Earth System. 2. Earth's Materials: Atoms, Elements, Minerals, and Rocks. 3. Earth in Time: The Rock Record and Geologic Time. Part Two: The Dynamic Earth. 4. Plate Tectonics: A Unifying Theory. 5. Earthquakes and the Earth's Interior. 6. From the Earth's Interior: Volcanoes and Igneous Rocks. Part Three: The Changing Earth. 7. Weathering and Erosion. 8. From Sediment to Rock: Rocks that Form near the Earth's Surface. 9. Folds, Faults, and Geologic Maps. 10. Metamorphism: Making New Rock from Old. 11. The Rock Cycle Revisited: Where Different Rocks Form and Why. Part Four: Water World. 12. Water On and Under the Ground. 13. Oceans, Winds, Waves, and Coastlines. 14. Deserts, Glaciers, and Climatic Change. Part Five: Living on Planet Earth. 15. A Brief History of Life on Earth. 16. Earth Resources. 17. The Role of Geoscientists in the Twenty-First Century. Appendices. A. Units and their Conversions. B. The Chemical Elements. C. Bowen's Reaction Series. D. Interpreting Geologic Maps. Study Guide. Lab Exercises. 1. Minerals. 2. Plate Tectonics. 3. Earthquakes. 4. Igneous Rocks. 5. Sedimentary Rocks. 6. Metamorphic Rocks.
