Book Summary

The Essentials of Geology Fourth Edition Book offers a streamlined, engaging approach to geologic processes, presented through visuals, photographs, and text, as well as discussions of modern science phenomena.

The Essentials of Geology, Fourth Edition Book , is an introduction to the study of our planet that employs the theory of plate tectonics and the concept of the Earth System throughout to weave together a number of narrative themes, including the following:

The solid Earth, the oceans, the atmosphere, and life interact in complex ways, yielding a planet that is unique in the Solar System.
Most geologic processes reflect the interactions among plates.
The Earth is a planet, formed like other planets from dust and gas. Unlike other planets, Earth remains dynamic, forming new geologic features and erasing old ones, setting it apart.
The Earth is very old—about 4.57 billion years have passed since its birth. During this time, the surface, subsurface, and atmosphere of the planet have changed, and life has evolved.
Internal processes (driven by Earth’s internal heat) and external processes (driven by heat from the Sun) interact at the Earth’s surface to produce complex landscapes.
Geologic knowledge can help society understand natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and floods, and in some cases can reduce the danger that these hazards pose.
The Earth generates energy and mineral resources through geologic phenomena.Geologic study can help locate these resources and mitigate the consequences of their use.
Physical features of the Earth are linked to life processes, and vice versa.
Science comes from observation; people make scientific discoveries.
Geology utilizes ideas from physics, chemistry, and biology, so the study of geology provides an excellent means to improve science literacy.

Note

These narrative themes serve as the take-home message of this book, a message that students should remember long after they finish their introductory geology course. In effect, they provide a mental framework on which students can organize and connect ideas, and develop a modern, coherent image of our planet.
