    Series Book 9 - Solid Earth Sciences Library
    TECTONlCS AND PHYSICS Geology, although rooted in the laws of physics, rarely has been taught in a manner designed to stress the relations between the laws and theorems of physics and the postulates of geology. The same is true of geophysics, whose specialties (seismology, gravimetIy, magnetics, magnetotellurics) deal only with the laws that govern them, and not with those that govern geology's ...

  • Meteorites

    Messengers from Space

    by Fritz Heide, Frank Wlotzka ...
    Translated by R.S.Jr. Clarke, Frank Wlotzka ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Meteorites - as well as shooting stars and meteors - result from a collision of a solid body from space with our Earth, but only meteorites are able to penetrate the Earth's protective shield, the atmosphere, and fall to the Earth's surface. Before the return of lunar samples, they were the only materials from beyond the Earth which we could take in hand and study.This book gives a concise and up ... Read more

  • Carbonate Depositional Systems: Assessing Dimensions and Controlling Parameters

    The Bahamas, Belize and the Persian/Arabian Gulf

    Edited by Hildegard Westphal, Bernhard Riegl, Gregor P. Eberli ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Carbonate sediments are of increasing relevance for archives of past environmental conditions and for economical reasons in areas of geothermal energy and hydrocarbon reservoirs.

  • Noctilucent Clouds

    by Michael Gadsden, Wilfried Schröder ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    An atmospheric phenomenon is considered as 'explained' when we have succeeded in deducing it on the basis of accepted principles of physics. (H. Ertel, Methods and problems of dynamical meteorolo gy,p. l) Until recently, noctilucent clouds were regarded merely as a curious atmos pheric phenomenon, the occurrence of which aroused only limited scientific attention. However, in the last two decades ... Read more

  • Sequence Stratigraphy of the Lower Miocene Moghra Formation in the Qattara Depression, North Western Desert, Egypt

    by Safiya M. Hassan ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The Qattara Depression is part of the Northwestern Desert in Egypt and is home to the second lowest point in Africa at -133 meters below sea level. Therefore, before any projects can be carried out in this area, we must first understand the geology of the land. The present study deals with the high-resolution sequence stratigraphic analysis of the Lower Miocene Moghra Formation outcrops in the ... Read more

  • The Twin Sister Planets Venus and Earth

    Why are they so different?

    by Robert J. Malcuit ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book explains how it came to be that Venus and Earth, while very similar in chemical composition, zonation, size and heliocentric distance from the Sun, are very different in surface environmental conditions. It is argued here that these differences can be accounted for by planetoid capture processes and the subsequent evolution of the planet-satellite system. Venus captured a one-half moon ... Read more

  • The Argentina Continental Margin

    A Potential Paleoclimatic-Paleoceanographic Archive for the Southern Ocean

    by Roberto A. Violante, Cecilia Laprida, Natalia L. García Chapori ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The evolution of the Argentina Continental Margin during the Quaternary and the stratigraphic and morphosedimentary configuration responded to climatic variability, oceanographic changes, glacioeustatic fluctuations and tectono-isostatic processes, which began to impact on the margin during previous geological periods. The final modeling of the margin was achieved in the late Miocene, when the ... Read more
