Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Structural Geology' provides a comprehensive and foundational examination of the principles governing the deformation of the Earth's crust. Written by the esteemed geologist C. K. Leith, this work explores the physical processes that shape our planet, focusing on the mechanical aspects of rock deformation. Through a systematic analysis of geological structures, the text delves into topics such as folding, faulting, cleavage, and fractures, offering clear explanations of how these features are formed under tectonic stress.The work serves as a vital resource for understanding the architectural framework of the Earth, bridging the gap between field observations and the theoretical mechanics of the lithosphere. Readers will find detailed discussions on the nature of mountain-building processes and the structural characteristics of metamorphic rocks. With its focus on the underlying physical laws that dictate the movements of the crust, 'Structural Geology' remains an essential classic for students and professionals interested in the historical development of earth sciences and the fundamental mechanics of our world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
