Publisher's Synopsis
Laboratory Exercises In Structural And Historical Geology is a comprehensive laboratory manual based on the folios of the United States Geological Survey, written by Rollin D. Salisbury and first published in 1913. The book is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in the study of structural and historical geology, and covers a range of topics including plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, sedimentary rocks, and geologic time. The manual is divided into two parts: the first part covers structural geology and includes exercises on the identification and classification of rocks, the study of geologic structures such as faults and folds, and the interpretation of geologic maps. The second part covers historical geology and includes exercises on the study of fossils, the interpretation of geologic history, and the use of stratigraphic principles to reconstruct the geologic history of an area. Each exercise in the manual includes detailed instructions, illustrations, and questions to help students understand the concepts being studied. The manual also includes a glossary of key terms, a list of references for further reading, and appendices on geologic time scales and the classification of rocks. Overall, Laboratory Exercises In Structural And Historical Geology is a valuable resource for students of geology and earth science, providing a practical and engaging approach to the study of the earth's history and structure.A Laboratory Manual Based On Folios Of The United States Geological Survey, For Use With Classes In Structural And Historical Geology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
