Text-Book of Geology, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Text-Book of Geology, Vol. 2 HE phenomena of hypogene action considered in the T foregoing pages relate almost wholly to the effects produced at the surface. It is evident, however, that these phenomena chieﬂy arise from movements within or beneath the earth's crust, and must be accompanied by very considerable internal changes in the rocks which form that crust. These rocks, subjected to enormous pressure, have been contorted, crumpled, and folded back upon themselves, as if thousands of feet of solid limestones, sandstones, and shales had been merely a few layers of carpet; they have been shattered and fractured; they have in some places been pushed far above their original position, in others depressed far beneath it: so great has been the compression which they have undergone that their com ponent particles have in many places been rearranged, and even crystallized. They have here and there probably been reduced to actual fusion, and have been abundantly invaded by masses of molten rock from below. In the present section, the student is asked to consider (503) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Text-Book of Geology, Vol. 1It is evident that to deal successfully with these varied materials, a considerable acquaintance with differ ent branches of science is desirable. The fuller and more accurate the knowledge which the geologist has of kindred branches of inquiry, the more interesting and fruitful will be his own researches. From its very nature, geology demands on the part of its votaries wide sympathy with investigation in almost every branch of natural science. Especially necessary is a tolerably large acquaintance with the processes now at work in changing the surface of the earth, and of at least those forms of plant and animal life whose remains are apt to be preserved in geological deposits, or which, in their structure and habitat, enable us to realize What their forerunners were.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
