Download or read book Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau written by Ronald C. Blakey and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine seeing the varied landscapes of the earth as they used to look throughout hundreds of millions of years of earth history. Tropical seas lap on the shores of an Arizona beach. Immense sand dunes shift and swirl in Sahara-like deserts in Utah and New Mexico. Ancient rivers spill from a mountain range in Colorado that was a precursor to the modern Rockies. Such flights of geologic fancy are now tangible through the thought-provoking and beautiful paleogeographic maps, reminiscent of the maps in world atlases we all paged through as children, of Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau.Ron Blakey of Northern Arizona University is one of the world's foremost authorities on the geologic history of the Colorado Plateau. For more than fifteen years, he has meticulously created maps that show how numerous past landscapes gave rise to the region's stunning geologic formations. Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau is the first book to showcase Blakey's remarkable work. His maps are accompanied by text by Wayne Ranney, geologist and award-winning author of Carving Grand Canyon. Ranney takes readers on a fascinating tour of the many landscapes depicted in the maps, and Blakey and Ranney's fruitful collaboration brings the past alive like never before.Features: More than 70 state-of-the-art paleogeographic maps of the region and of the world, developed over many years of geologic research Detailed yet accessible text that covers the geology of the plateau in a way nongeologists can appreciate More than 100 full-color photographs, diagrams, and illustrations A detailed guide of where to go to see the spectacular rocks of the region

Download or read book Late Cenozoic Drainage History of the Southwestern Great Basin and Lower Colorado River Region written by Marith C. Reheis and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papers in this title were selected from presentations from an April 2005 workshop sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey Earth Surface Dynamics Program, the U.S. Geological Survey National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program, and the Smithsonian Institution. Papers are divided into two broad topics of the configuration, areal extent, and temporal development of the chain of interconnected lakes that emptied into Death Valley during periods of the Pleistocene, and the late Cenozoic history of drainage integration in the lower Colorado River region. Papers are occasionally illustrated in both color and black-and-white; the publication contains no index.
Download or read book Geology of the Colorado Plateau written by Fred Peterson and published by American Geophysical Union. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Field Trip Guidebooks Series, Volume 130. The Colorado Plateau is a broadly elevated region in the southern part of the Western Interior of the United States that has exceptionally fine exposures of upper Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic rocks. The quality of exposures is a product of regional uplift in the middle and late Tertiary that caused rapid erosion and deep canyon incision in a semi-arid to arid climate. The structure of the Plateau consists of broad basins, uplifts, and platforms locally bordered by monoclines. Although elevated in Tertiary time, the Plateau region was a distinct crustal block by the beginning of Mesozoic time when it was largely surrounded by tectonically distinct regions. Upper Paleozoic to Cenozoic strata contain the record of marine and continental sedimentologic processes complicated in varying degrees by the interplay between sea-level changes and tectonism, both within the Plateau region and in bordering regions. The field excursion will provide an opportunity to see the spectacular geologic scenery of the Colorado Plateau and to discuss the regional sedimentologic and structural history.

Book excerpt: "At the convergence of the states of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico lies the red rock country of the Colorado Plateau. The magnificent canyonlands of the region are the natural result of centuries of erosion by rivers, with their tools of suspended sand and gravel, and by heat and cold and rain. Relentlessly through the ages the rivers have carved the Plateau, exposing to our view the records of departed deserts and seas. Algal flats and small sea creatures rendered into stone are overlain by rock layers containing crustacea and fish, and the stony casts of dinosaur foot prints. Man himself is not neglected by the preserving stone; his drawings and pottery, the ruined houses of vanished Indians and the scratched names of John Wesley Powell and other explorers remain behind." -- Amazon.com.
