Geology, Vol. 1 [of 3] : Geologic processes and their results by Chamberlin et al.
"Geology, Vol. 1 [of 3]: Geologic Processes and Their Results" by Thomas C. Chamberlin and Rollin D. Salisbury is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This volume is designed as a textbook for advanced students, focusing on the dynamic processes shaping the Earth's geology, while also introducing historical context to the subject. The book outlines various geologic processes, including atmospheric, hydrologic, lithospheric, and biological influences on the Earth's structure
and history. The opening of this work provides a concise overview of the authors' objectives and structure. It emphasizes a unified approach to geology, integrating various dynamic processes into the narrative of Earth's history. The authors assert that geology is essentially a comprehensive history of the Earth and its inhabitants, advocating for a focus on contemporary geological forces and processes that contribute to the landscape we observe today. They outline several key topics that will be explored throughout the volume, preparing the student for a more detailed examination of geologic processes in subsequent chapters. Additionally, there are discussions on the importance of practical fieldwork in understanding these concepts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
