sedimentation and deposition

"This book describes four different methods of paleotemperature assessment on selected Paleozoic rock units and determines spatial variations in maximum burial depths of these units and thicknesses of lost overburden. Stratigraphic and tectonic history of the northern Appalachian basin is described in details followed by a critical review of fluid inclusion, clay diagenesis, organic maturation, and stable isotope techniques of paleotemperature measurements in sedimentary rocks"--Amazon.

Introduces erosion to young readers, discussing what it is and the different types of erosion.

Explains the process of erosion and how different forces--like wind and water--are constantly changing the Earth.

Describes the natural forces that cause weathering, erosion, and deposition and shows how these processes have impacted natural structures around the world; presents a hands-on demonstration of how running water erodes different kinds of soil; and discusses modern methods of conservation.

Examines the structure and history of Earth from the perspective of visitors from a distant galaxy, focusing on the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition, and their effects on Earth's surface; and includes a demonstration of how running water erodes different types of soil.

Describes the types of sedimentary rocks, and the processes that lead to their formation.
