Book excerpt: We often look at mountains as something beautiful to admire. This informative book describes the processes that create mountains over time. It examines plate movements along faults, volcanic activity, and other actions that have formed Earth's mountains over billions of years. Photographs, diagrams, and step-by-step explanations guide readers to a deeper understanding of the processes that shape our planet. In a fun follow-up activity, readers use available materials to model a mountain-building process on their own.

Download or read book The Origin of Mountains written by Cliff Ollier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Origins of Mountains approaches mountains from facts about mountain landscapes rather than theory. The book illustrates that almost everywhere, mountains arose by vertical uplift of a former plain, and by a mixture of cracking and warping by earth movements, and erosion by rivers and glaciers, the present mountainous landscapes were created. It also gives evidence that this uplift only occured in the last few million years, a time scale which does not fit the plate tectonics theory. Another fascinating part of the evidence, shows that mountain uplift correlates very well with climatic change. Mountain building could have been responsible for the onset of the ice age. It certainly resulted in the creation of new environments. Fossil plants and animals are used in places to work out the time of mountain uplift, which in turn helps to explain biogeographical distributions.

Download or read book Mountains Mobilities and Movement written by Christos Kakalis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the moving qualities of mountains by utilising theories, ideas and processes which contribute to a larger understanding of these geological forms. In highlighting the fluid attributes of mountains the authors offer an alternative to the traditional approach of the sciences and the humanities, which address mountains as static geological or geographical features. The essays in this collection posit that movement impacts the relationship between society and mountains – travelling landscape objects, constructing design and artistic translations, climbing and experiencing changing atmospheres and the different ways of seeing from mountain peaks – and that physical, intellectual and spiritual motion is integral to their understanding. This innovative collection will be of great interest to scholars of geography, art, architecture, history, theology and philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the land of Evermore, little folks both good and evilgnomes who influence their human counterpartsbattle for supremacy. Brimen and the Oakmen have just recently been honored by the king for a daring rescue mission, but they still have one thing to worry about: Drasnah, the evil goblin. After plundering the marsh, Drasnah and his goblins have failed to retrieve the magical golden acorns needed for his ally, Ersatz. In revenge, they return to Evermore intending to wreak havoc. Among their destructive objectives is to reintroduce the ferocious Skelt hound, then bring over the Red Witch of Drone to challenge the witch sisters Merva and Derva. But most of all, they want to drain the marsh and flood the Oakwoods, home to the mighty Oakmen. On Brimen and the Oakmens return to Oak Village near the marsh, Brimen is attacked by the goblins. They steal the satchel that holds important detailed information to the whereabouts of all the mines, tunnels, caves and canyons throughout the whole of Evermore. Now that such sensitive information has fallen into scheming hands, the Oakmen must work closely together and consult the Oracles and Chronicles to save Evermore from disaster!

Download or read book Mountain Environments written by John Gerrard and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using examples chosen from a variety of geographical settings and scales, A. J. Gerrard presents a novel approach to the study of mountain environments. He provides a framework in which mountains as special environments can be studied and shows how, no matter what their location or origin all mountain regions share common characteristics and undergo similar shaping processes. Gerrard's integrated approach combines ecological, climatological, hydrological, volcanic, and environmental management concerns in a systematic treatment of mountain geomorphology. He begins by examining the special nature of mountains, including a new classification of mountain types. He discusses mountain ecosystems, stressing the interaction between biota, soil, climate, relief, and geology, examines the high-energy systems of weathering and mass movement, and analyzes the role of rivers and hydrology and the processes of slope evolution. Two chapters are devoted to the particular characteristics of glaciation and vulcanism in mountain formation. The book concludes with a discussion of the special problems that human use of mountain regions create, including engineering, natural hazards, soil erosion, and the concept of integrated development. A. J. Gerrard is Lecturer in Geography at the University of Birmingham, England
