Physical Geology - Tapa dura

Provides a clear and concise path to understanding modern geology by describing the working of geologic processes and relating them to their outcomes. This new text illustrates the relevance and importance of these processes by applying basic geologic principles to everyday life, with a particular emphasis on environmental problems. In addition, plate tectonic theory is introduced early and used as a unifying concept throughout, further illustrating the interplay between the many aspects of earth behaviour.
