The aim of this note is to
provide a basic introduction to the geological and geophysical processes that
form and shape the ocean basins and their margins. Topics covered includes:
Seafloor Mapping, Understanding Conductive Cooling, Cooling of the Ocean Plates,
Evidence for Plate Tectonics from Magnetics, Global Seismology, Mantle Melting
and Phase Diagrams, Mid-Ocean Ridge Segmentation, Subduction Zones, Seismic
Hazards in the Pacific Northwest, Passive Margins and Sediment Transport,
Sequence Stratigraphy and Eustacy, Deep Sea Sedimentation and Paleoceanography.
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 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.
New Theory of the Earth, is a book written by Don L. Anderson. This
is an interdisciplinary advanced textbook on all aspects of the interior of the
Earth and its origin, composition, and evolution: geophysics, geochemistry,
dynamics, convection, mineralogy, volcanism, energetics and thermal history.
This is the only book on the whole landscape of deep Earth processes that ties
together all the strands of the subdisciplines.
IN these days of specializing in "
watertight compartments," the bearing of geology in relation to almost every
branch of engineer-ing is very frequently neglected or ignored. A knowledge of
geology is, however, of the first importance to the practical engineer, but it
is difficult for him to study the application of this
science to his requirements without having recourse to a large number of
different textbooks and other works. References to geology which are often of
the greatest practical importance are often almost hidden away or treated in an
obscure fashion, where- as the engineer requires the needful information to be
put before him in a clear and concise manner. To meet this want I have endeavoured to compile the requisite information in one volume, in the hope that
it may serve as a handy book of reference. GEOLOGY is the science which
investigates the history of the earth. It treats of the nature and formation of
the rocks which form the solid framework of the globe ; of the agents which
produce changes in these rocks ; and of the history of the past life, whose
remains (fossils) are buried in them.

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.
