This
book, like the others in the Series, is written in simple English the language
most widely used in science and technology. It provides an introduction to the
study of Earth science, but `Earth science' is interpreted differently in
different countries. In some regions of the Earth, such as on the Pacific
margins, it usually covers all the science relating to the Earth, including
geology, meteorology, oceanography, geomorphology and soil science. It therefore
covers much of physical geography in these regions, where geography is often not
a strong school subject. In other countries `Earth science' has a rather
narrower definition, largely covering only geology, whilst other aspects of
`Earth science' are covered in geography. Nevertheless, wherever on Earth this
book is being read, if you want to study `Earth science' in Higher Education, at
College or University, you will study mainly geology. So this book has been
written as an introductory guide to geology, to interest you in the subject and
to enthuse you to study geology at higher levels.
This book
relates fractals and chaos to a variety of geological and geophysical
applications. This book contains eight chapters showing the recent
applications of the fractal or mutifractal analysis in geosciences. Two chapters
are devoted to applications of the fractal analysis in climatology, two of them
to data of cosmic and solar geomagnetic data from observatories. Four chapters
of the book contain some applications of the (multi-) fractal analysis in
exploration geophysics.
This
book will be a valuable resource in teaching the physical, earth, and space
sciences. It introduces students to the scientific results of planetary
exploration. This educator's guide features exercises grouped into five units:
1) introduction to geologic processes, 2) impact cratering activities, 3)
planetary atmosphere, 4) planetary surfaces and 5) geologic mapping.
This
note covers the following topics: introduction, target sequence, barringer
meteorite impact crater, shock metamorphism, crater rim uplift and crater wall
collapse, overturned rim sequence, distribution of ejecta, projectile,
trajectory, energy of impact, age of the crater, environmental effects of the
impact, postimpact lake, crater rim east trail guide, crater floor trail guide,
bibliography
The
subjects of this dictionary are most of geological terms but there are many
terms that also related with geophysics, biology, astrophysics, and geography.
Geology is an interesting subject in knowing history of Earth creation, creature
evolution, ancient Earth life and Earth condition in the past; even find mine,
coal, also oil deposit below Earth surface. Petrogeologist study geology to find
mine, coal, or oil deposit. Geophysics scientist study geology for recognize the
physical characteristics of Earth component such as magnetism, seismicity,
elasticity, Earth thermodynamic, by physical experiments in a specific
geological structure which consist of specific rocks and minerals. Biology
scientist study geology for tracing the historical evolution of creature in its
first appearance until this time. Geographers also study geology for recognize a
spatial phenomenon of Earth surface that were formed or influenced with a
sequences of geological event.
