Description:For thousands of years men speculated about the structures and phenomena of the earth they lived on—mountains, earthquakes, erosion, volcanoes, etc. But it has only been within fairly recent times that men have tested their ideas by investigations in the field. In so doing, they have provided the basis for a truly scientific explanation of the nature and history of the earth's surface and interior. It is such advances that have made the modern science of geology.Geology today links many realms. It looks back hundreds of millions of years to explain the formation of the planet itself, yet looks ahead to the possibility of predicting tomorrow's earthquakes. It bores deep into the earth, yet it reaches far out into space with the moon-probe. It draws from man's storehouse of basic scientific knowledge, yet it is continually adding to it. All of this, and more, is the story of geology that this book tells.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
