Text-Book of Geology, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

Explore the inner workings of the Earth with a classic reference to metamorphism, stratigraphy, and ore deposits. This volume surveys how rocks transform under pressure, the flow of geological processes across time, and the evidence left behind in fossil records, mineral veins, and geological formations. Rich with cross‑regional case studies, it offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the earth’s crust and its history.- Learn how regional metamorphism alters rocks and what mineral transformations reveal about formation conditions- Discover how stratigraphy classifies the rocks that make up the geological record, from pre‑Cambrian to Cainozoic- See how ore deposits form, and how magmatic, solution, and vein processes relate to broader tectonic activity- Understand the role of volcanism, denudation, and tectonic forces in shaping landscapesIdeal for readers of geology, paleontology, and earth science who want a structured, era‑spanning look at rocks, fossils, and the forces that build the planet.
