Many familiar landforms are developed on granite as well as in other lithological environments. Thus, fault scarps and fault-line scarps, valleys and other features are as well-developed in granite as elsewhere, glaciated granite landscapes bear the clear and characteristic impr…
A detailed analysis and explanation of granite landforms, focused exclusively on granitic terrains and their structures, forms and surfaces.
Granite is exposed over more than 15% of the continents, implying that its significance to the Earth's surface is comparable to that of the carbonates. Landforms and Geology of Granite Terrains is devoted to this phenomenon and provides a comprehensive explanation of the landfor…
"This work is intended for geologists, geomorphologists, geographers and mining engineers and can serve both as a practical guide for professionals and as a textbook for university courses. Author, location and subject indices are included."--Jacket.
Written for introductory geomorphology courses, Key Concepts in Geomorphology offers an integrative, applications-centered approach to the study of the Earth's dynamic surface. Bierman and Montgomery draw from the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics to help st…
