Living earth

A marine geology overview covering marine exploration, the oceanic crust, undersea mountains and chasms, submarine volcanoes, abyssal currents, coastal geology, ocean resources, marine biology, and rare seafloor formations. Includes a glossary and bibliography.

Provides information about asteroids, comets, and meteorites, discussing the origins of the universe, the galaxies, and the solar system, looking at the creation of Earth, the moon, and the beginnings of life, and examining various aspects of meteors, meteorites, comets, and asteroids, and their effects on Earth and other planets.

Describes the formation of Earth and the emergence of life, and chronicles the evolution of life forms from Archean algae to the first humans of the Quaternary period. Includes illustrations, a glossary, and a bibliography.

A reference guide to environmental geology, providing an overview of the causes and consequences of environmental change, covering natural processes, ecology and pollution, the greenhouse effect, water flow and flooding, seacoasts and estuaries, desertification, natural disasters, and other topics.

Covers the geological history of the earth as well as the lastest technology which is being used to study it.

Traces the global geologic processes that have formed and shaped Earth and that continue to transform it, covering continental crust formation, tectonic processes, crustal uplift, volcanism, river courses, coastal geography, deserts, arctic geology, glacial landscapes, and unique landforms.

Describes how tectonics works, the role of seafloor spreading, how mountains and volcanoes are formed, and what happens when continents collide.

A textbook on geology, rocks, and rock structures that covers such topics as mountains, volcanoes, erosion and sedimentation, caves and caverns, asteroids and comets, canyons, and rock monuments, and includes photos, a glossary, and a bibliography.

Examines the geologic forces that shape the Earth, and discusses the hazards posed by plate tectonic activity, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, ground failure and collapse, floods, dust storms, glaciers, and impact cratering.
