Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology and Mineralogy, Vol. 2: Considered With Reference to Natural Theology Assuming that Fire and Water have been the two great Agents employed in reducing the surface of the globe to its actual condition, we see, in repeated operations of these agents, causes adequate to the production of those irregular Elevations and Depressions of the fundamental Rocks of the Granitic series, which are delineated in the lower Region of our Section, as forming the basis of the entire Superstructure of stratified Rocks. Near the right extremity of this Section, the undulating surface of the fundamental Granite (a. 5. A. 6. A. 7. A. Is represented as being, for the most part, beneath the level of the Sea. On the left extremity of the Section (a. L. A. 2. A. The Granite is elevated into one of those lofty Alpine ridges, which have affected, by their upward movement, the entire series of stratified Rocks.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Mineralogy, Geology, and Mineral Analysis, Vol. 2 of 2 It is evident, that whatever causes gave this oblate figure to the globe, have acted upon the solid as well as the fluid parts. The land, in a general point of view, is as much elevated at the equator as towards the poles. But, since the equatorial regions are 12 miles farther from the centre than the parts at the pole, it is obvious, that if the solid nucleus of the globe were a true sphere, the sea would be accumulated by the centrifugal force in the equatorial regions, which would have been completely submerged while the polar regions would have been left dry and elevated many miles above the level of the waters. The ocean would have formed a broad and deep zone round the equator, separating the two continents encircling the poles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology and Mineralogy, Vol. 2: Considered With Reference to Natural Theology It has been the object of the author to present a compendious manual of the principal elements of Theological Study, originally addressed to a class of adult youth, completing the higher branches of education. It has been attempted to adopt that tone and spirit throughout the course, which, it was hoped, might prove most useful and impressive to minds so situated; and, therefore, the various scientific, literary, and critical disquisitions bearing upon the subject, have been entered into somewhat more fully than might otherwise have been expected in a work so merely elementary. In the Introduction, the general application of classical and scientific education to Theology is discussed, illustrated in the former instance by pointing out the anxious inquiries of Natural Reason on these subjects, in the ancient philosophical schools, and the confessed weakness of that reason to obtain a satisfactory solution, unless assisted by Revelation. The evidences of Natural Theology are compendiously summed up under the various branches of physical science to which they relate; thus showing the application of scientific education to theological objects; the argument will here be found to run parallel with that of the several Bridgewater Treatises, which have appeared since the publication of the first edition of these Lectures; references are accordingly given in the notes of the present edition, to the portions of those Treatises where the topics more generally indicated in this manual will be found developed in fuller detail. A connecting survey of Butler's argument, from the analogy between the truths disclosed by natural and revealed religion, is then made to usher in a recapitulation of the great evidences of Christianity, on the basis of the works of Lardner and Paley.

Download or read book Treatise on Geophysics Volume 2 written by G David Price and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-04-20 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treatise on Geophysics: Mineral Physics, Volume 2, provides a comprehensive review of the current state of understanding of mineral physics. Each chapter demonstrates the significant progress that has been made in the understanding of the physics and chemistry of minerals, and also highlights a number of issues which are still outstanding or that need further work to resolve current contradictions. The book first reviews the current status of our understanding of the nature of the deep Earth. These include the seismic properties of rocks and minerals; problems of the lower mantle and the core-mantle boundary; and the state of knowledge on mantle chemistry and the nature and evolution of the core. The discussions then turn to the theory underlying high-pressure, high-temperature physics, and the major experimental methods being developed to probe this parameter space. The remaining chapters explain the specific techniques for measuring elastic and acoustic properties, electronic and magnetic properties, and rheological properties; the nature and origin of anisotropy in the Earth; the properties of melt; and the magnetic and electrical properties of mantle phases. Self-contained volume starts with an overview of the subject then explores each topic with in depth detail Extensive reference lists and cross references with other volumes to facilitate further research Full-color figures and tables support the text and aid in understanding Content suited for both the expert and non-expert

This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Mineralogy, Geology, and Mineral Analysis, Vol. 1 of 2 The work which I now offer to the public, is the result of a laborious investigation which has occupied almost the whole of my spare time during a period of about ten years. The object in view, was to ascertain the chemical constitution of the different minerals which occur on the surface of the globe. For this purpose, I subjected to a rigid analysis every species that I could procure, except those which had been already investigated with sufficient accuracy by other chemists. During the course of this investigation, I analyzed several hundred specimens, and at least as many more were subjected to analysis by the numerous pupils who attended my laboratory, not a few of whom acquired great dexterity and accuracy in analysis, and have already, or speedily will distinguish themselves as analytical chemists. During these investigations, I met with a considerable number of new species hitherto overlooked by mineralogists, chiefly in specimens from Ireland, North America, and the West of Scotland, These new species, amounting to nearly 50, will be found described in the first volume of this work. Every true mineral species is a chemical compound, the constituents of which are united in definite proportions, and the greater number of them consist but of a very few ingredients. What makes it difficult or impossible to determine these ingredients with the requisite accuracy, is, that very few minerals are free from a mixture of foreign matter interspersed among their particles.
