Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continent of Europe, as a recognizable geographic entity, attained roughly its present shape around 20 million years ago. Even since then, the European coastline has undergone significant changes, due mainly to sea-level movements. This book relates how Europe has been assembled through geological time by the accretion of various distinct geological components, some of which have travelled a considerable distance across the globe to reach their present positions. It is written for those who are curious about the shape, variety, and origins of the continent of Europe. How did the continent come to adopt certain shapes as presented on maps? Why are there such distinct regions and landscapes, ranging from the wide plains of Northern Europe to the mountains of the South? Illustrated in color, with technical terms kept to a minimum, The Making of Europe: A Geological History will educate all those who travel in Europe and who are interested in the study of geology. *** "Profusely illustrated throughout, 'The Making of Europe: A Geological History' by Graham Park is extraordinarily well written, organized and presented, making it an informed and informative read that would be of value to students and non-specialist general readers with an interest in geology. ...very strongly recommended for both academic and community library Geology Studies reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists." - Midwest Book Review, Small Press Bookwatch, The Geology Shelf, January 2015 *** "...[includes] over 100 illustrations, maps, and photographs and over 300 geologic terms and names....explained in an extensive glossary cross-indexed to the text. ...the book is a cross between a geological dictionary, gazetteer, and historical atlas, and a standard geologic history. Recommended. All levels/libraries" -- Choice, Vol. 52, No. 9, May 2015 [Subject: Geology, Earth Science, Natural Science]~~

Download or read book Geology and the Environment in Western Europe written by George Innes Lumsden and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All too often geology is not applied when it should be, with disastrous or unnecessarily expensive consequences. The aim of this book is to improve communication between geologists and decision makers, to demonstrate the types of problems to which geological information and expertise are relevant, and to indicate the great volume of national and international information that is available. More than 230 geologists from 21 national geological surveys and associated institutions have collaborated to provide a summary of the geology, the natural resources, and the geological hazards of Western Europe, together with examples of the benefits of applying geological techniques to understanding, conserving, and developing the environment. Each chapter gives a concise but informative summary of the subject concerned, backed up by a series of case studies. While its geological content will be of interest to Earth scientists generally, the book is accessible to nonspecialists, and is intended to bridge the gap between geologists and all those concerned with the environment, including national and local policymakers, planners, teachers, and administrators.

Download or read book The Geology of Central Europe written by Tom McCann and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2008 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 1 focuses on the evolution of Central Europe from the Precambrian to the Permian, a dynamic period which traces the formation of Central Europe from a series of microcontinents that separated from Gondwana through to the creation of Pangaea. Separate summary chapters on the Cadomian, Caledonian and Variscan orogenic events as well as on Palaeozoic magmatism provide an overview of the tectonic and magmatic evolution of the region. These descriptions sometimes extend beyond the borders of Central Europe to take in the Scottish and Irish Caledonides as well as the Palaeozoic successions in the Baltic region.
Download or read book A Continent Revealed written by D. J. Blundell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-12-03 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continent of Europe has a complex geological history of successive tectonic events. Over several thousand million years these have formed the present day configuration of major tectonic provinces. A Continent Revealed unravels this history by presenting and interpreting the results of the European Geotraverse (EGT) - a unique study of the continent of Europe and the first comprehensive cross section of the continental lithosphere. An illustrated book and an atlas of data have been assembled by key workers in the EGT project to make known the wealth of information yielded by the ten year project. Seismic, gravity, magnetic, electrical, geothermal and other geophysical and geological data, presented as separate maps and as data files on CD-ROM, have revealed the nature of the deep interior of the continent and the variation in character from one tectonic province to another. The integration of the results and interpretation of the different characters has given new insights into the mechanisms of continental evolution and Europe's geodynamics. From this perspective it is evident that understanding geological processes demands a multidisciplinary approach and that all processes, be they sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous, on every scale, involve the whole lithosphere.

Download or read book The Geology of Germany written by Martin Meschede and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book presents Germany’s geological evolution in the context of the Earth’s dynamic history. It starts with an introduction to Geology and explains the plate tectonic development, as well as the formation of both ancient and recent mountain belts – namely the Caledonian, Variscan and the modern-day Alps – that formed this part of Europe. A dedicated chapter discusses the origin of earthquakes in Germany, the occurrence of young volcanic rocks and the various episodes of rock deformation and metamorphism at these complex crossroads of plate tectonic history. The book highlights Germany’s diverse geological history, ranging from the origin of the Earth, the formation of deep crystalline rocks, and their overlying sedimentary sequences, to its more recent “ice age” quaternary cover. The last chapter addresses the shaping of the modern landscape. Though the content is also accessible for non-geologists, it is primarily intended for geoscience students and an academic audience.

Download or read book The Growth of Europe Classic Reprint written by Grenville A. J. Cole and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Growth of Europe This book attempts to show how the surface features of Europe are the result of remarkable and comparatively recent changes, in which the wearing away of the rocks and the deposi tion of continental waste have played a far smaller part than the actual upheaval and depression of the land. These surface-features are intimately related to the movements of man across them; and it is hoped that the 'traveller in familiar parts of Europe, whether a lover of scenery or a student of historical foundations, will find something of interest in these pages. The descriptive chapters may recall landscapes that have been keenly enjoyed from mountain footpaths, or from the long white highways on which imperial towns are strung like gems. The change ful sway of the earth itself, the dominance now of a great sea, and now of an uprising and unstable mountain-chain, cannot fail to prove impressive, when we read even the latest story of European lands.

Download or read book Pre Permian Geology of Central and Eastern Europe written by R.D. Dallmeyer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1990, Project 233 of the International Geological Correlation Program hosted an international conference in G6ttingen/Giessen, Germany. Discussions were focused on the Tectonothermal and Stratigraphic Evolution of the Central European Orogens. The meeting marked the first opportunity for completely open scientific exchange following the recent political reformations in central Europe. This exciting new atmosphere of international cooperation resulted in presentation of a wealth of information which was new to scientists from both sides of former political boundaries. It was apparent that a unique opportunity was available to prepare a systematic overview in a volume dealing with the geology of Central Europe. The present book represents an outgrowth of this conference, but is not merely a compilation of the papers presented in G6ttingen/Giessen. Instead, it represents a coordinated volume designed to present a balanced, comprehensive view of our present understanding of the tectonothermal and stratigraphic evolution of the Central European orogens. We gratefully acknowledge the help of the national funding agencies, who have financed much of the research work summarized in this book, and of the Interna tional Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP, project no. 233) which provided and helped to finance the organisational framework. We are indebted to Springer-Verlag for thorough copy-editing and production of this book, and we sincerely appreciate the efforts of all the reviewers whose com ments have greatly helped to improve the quality of this volume. We also thank the various contributors for their diligence and perseverance in manuscript preparation.
