Download or read book Geology Underfoot on Colorado s Western Slope written by Jack Schroder and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The tenth book in the Geology Underfoot Series, Geology Underfoot on Colorado's Western Slope offers an inside view of the active and sometimes enigmatic landscape west of the Continental Divide. In this arid region where water drains through deep canyons en route to the Pacific, the crumpled rocks of the Colorado Rockies meet the famous red rocks of the Colorado Plateau to the west and the crazy pile of San Juan volcanics in the southwest. Nothing is simple here, with rich metal ores filling caldera fractures, coal seams metamorphosed by nearby granite, and rivers shifting course with each new uplift or eruption of lava. Join a team of geologists as they use clear prose, concise illustrations, and dramatic full-color photographs to tell the stories of 26 geologic sites. Included in the well-chosen sites are four giants of the national park system: Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado National Monument, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, and Dinosaur National Monument. Fossil collectors, rockhounds, hot potters, and coal miners alike need this guide book"--

Moore "In this informative, readable, altogether useful guide, Harry Moore adds another dimension to our understanding and appreciation of the Great Smoky Mountains. He acquaints us skillfully with the geologist's terminology and shows us how to read for ourselves the ancient language of the rocks." --Wilma Dykeman "Everybody loves the plants, trees, birds, mammals, and even the reptiles, amphibians, and insects of the Great Smokies. But rocks are not less fascinating, alive in their own way, the foundation of all the rest of life. So I think it's great to have this guide as a companion on the trail." --Michael Frome Guiding the reader on five popular driving tours and five key hiking trails, this nontechnical guidebook indicates not-to-be-missed points of interest and describes the geological evolution associated with them. Tour maps are complemented by annotated road log commentaries and copious drawings and photographs to aid in identifying geological phenomena even when these are obscured by the mountains' lush vegetation. A helpful introduction, focusing on the geologic history of the Smokies, illuminates basic terms and concepts, while a glossary, list of suggested readings, and detailed index further enhance the book's utility. Unique in providing a crisp, comprehensive summary of the Smoky Mountains' geology, A Roadside Guide will serve as a basic planning guide for scenic road trips and hiking trips in the Smokies. Harry L. Moore holds a master's degree in geology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Since 1972 he has been a geologist at the Tennessee Department of Transportation.
