Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ... 10,000 feet or more of diversified and folded Cambrian strata is exchanged in the Adirondack and Mississippi areas for a far more simple type of horizontal strata, but a few hundred feet in thickness; and, secondly, that erosion has removed this great series wholly or in part from over large portions of its original area. 141. With these explanations before us, we are now prepared to consider the relations of the Cambrian and Ordovician series, in their two unlike types of the Appalachian and Adirondack areas, to the Lower Taconic limestones. It has already been shown that Emmons, in 1842, in his final report on the geology of the Northern district of New York, defined, with the present names, the lower subdivisions of the New York paleozoic system, from the Potsdam to the Oneida sandstone, both inclusive, to which he gave the collective appellation of the Champlain division. He at the same time proposed for the Primitive Quartz-rock, the Primitive Lime-rock, and the Transition Argillite of Eaton, together with the First or Transition Graywacke--called by Emmons the Taconic slates--and the Sparry Lime-rock of Eaton, the general name of the Taconic system. The Taconic slates were then described by him as a great mass of argillites with interbedded limestones and coarse sandstones, limited on the east, in his original section, by the Sparry Lime-rock at the base of the Taconic hills, and on the west by "the Loraine or Hudson-River shales," by which the Taconic slates were declared to be undoubtedly overlapped, although the line of junction on the west was said to be obscure. This intermediate mass, whose limits were thus clearly defined to the west of the Taconic hills in 1842, was farther said in 1846 to have an immense thickness, ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advanced Physiography This book has been prepared at the request of a number of teachers of Physiography. It is supplementary to my 'elementary Physiography, ' and is very similar in structure, and the arrangement follows pretty closely the lines laid down in the Syllabus of Advanced Physiography of the Science and Art Department. Though many of the subjects treated in the first two chapters are not directly included in the syllabus, the questions set from time to time indicate that the examiners require candidates to have a knowledge of them. Indeed, a knowledge of astronomical instruments, and the principles under lying their construction, is essential for a proper understanding of the results attained.

Download or read book Assembling California written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At various times in a span of fifteen years, John McPhee made geological field surveys in the company of Eldridge Moores, a tectonicist at the University of California at Davis. The result of these trips is Assembling California, a cross-section in human and geologic time, from Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada through the golden foothills of the Mother Lode and across the Great Central Valley to the wine country of the Coast Ranges, the rock of San Francisco, and the San Andreas family of faults. The two disparate time scales occasionally intersect—in the gold disruptions of the nineteenth century no less than in the earthquakes of the twentieth—and always with relevance to a newly understood geologic history in which half a dozen large and separate pieces of country are seen to have drifted in from far and near to coalesce as California. McPhee and Moores also journeyed to remote mountains of Arizona and to Cyprus and northern Greece, where rock of the deep-ocean floor has been transported into continental settings, as it has in California. Global in scope and a delight to read, Assembling California is a sweeping narrative of maps in motion, of evolving and dissolving lands.

Download or read book Landscape Evolution in the United States written by Joseph A. DiPietro and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2012-12-21 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landscape Evolution in the United States is an accessible text that balances interdisciplinary theory and application within the physical geography, geology, geomorphology, and climatology of the United States. Landscape evolution refers to the changing terrain of any given area of the Earth's crust over time. Common causes of evolution (or geomorphology—land morphing into a different size or shape over time) are glacial erosion and deposition, volcanism, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, sediment transport into rivers, landslides, climate change, and other surface processes. The book is divided into three main parts covering landscape components and how they are affected by climactic, tectonic and ocean systems; varying structural provinces including the Cascadia Volcanic Arc and California Transpressional System; and the formation and collapse of mountain systems. The vast diversity of terrain and landscapes across the United States makes this an ideal tool for geoscientists worldwide who are researching the country’s geological evolution over the past several billion years. Presents the complexities of physical geography, geology, geomorphology, and climatology of the United States through an interdisciplinary, highly accessible approach Offers more than 250 full-color figures, maps and photographs that capture the systematic interaction of land, rock, rivers, glaciers, global wind patterns and climate Provides a thorough assessment of the logic, rationale, and tools required to understand how to interpret landscape and the geological history of the Earth Features exercises that conclude each chapter, aiding in the retention of key concepts

Download or read book The Geology of Stratigraphic Sequences written by Andrew D. Miall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequence stratigraphy represents a new paradigm in geology. The principal hypothesis is that stratigraphie successions may be subdivided into discrete sequences bounded by widespread unconformities. There are two parts to this hypothesis. First, it suggests that the driving forces which generate sequences and their bounding unconformities also generate predietable three-dimensional stratigraphies. In re cent years stratigraphie research guided by sequence models has brought about fundamental im provements in our understanding of stratigraphie processes and the controls of basin architecture. Sequence models have provided a powerful framework for mapping and numerieal modeling, enabling the science of stratigraphy to advance with rapid strides. This research has demonstrated the importance of a wide range of processes for the generation of cyclie sequences, including eustasy, tectonics, and orbital forcing of climate change. The main objective of this book is to document the sequence record and to discuss our current state of knowledge about sequence-generating processes.
Download or read book Long Island Sound written by James S. Latimer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Ocean Commission Report identified the need for regional ecosystem assessments to support coastal and ocean management. These assessments must provide greater understanding of physical and biological dynamics than assessments at global and national scales can provide but transcend state and local interests. This need and timeliness is apparent for Long Island Sound, where a multi-state regional restoration program is underway for America’s most urbanized estuary. Synthesis of the Long Island Sound ecosystem is needed to integrate knowledge across disciplines and provide insight into understanding and managing pressing issues, such as non-point sources of pollution, coastal development, global climatic change, and invasive species. Currently, there is a need for a comprehensive volume that summarizes the ecological and environmental dynamics and status of Long Island Sound and its myriad ecosystems. It has been 30 years since a comprehensive summary of Long Island Sound was prepared and 50 years since the pioneering work of Gordon Riley. Major advances in estuarine science are providing new insights into these systems, and yet, the condition of many estuaries is in decline in the face of continuing coastal development. There is an opportunity to lay a foundation for integrative coastal observing systems that truly provide the foundation for improved decision-making. This book will provide a key reference of our scientific understanding for work performed over the past three decades and guide future research and monitoring in a dynamic urbanized estuary.
