Book Summary

The sixth edition of “Essentials of Geology” emphasizes Earth system interactions, providing foundational knowledge for students in geosciences.

Essentials of Geology, Sixth Edition, is an introduction to the study of our planet that uses the theory of plate tectonics, as well as the Earth System perspective throughout, to weave together a number of narrative themes, including:

The solid Earth, the oceans, the atmosphere, and life interact in complex ways.
Many important geologic processes involve the interactions of plates —pieces of the Earth’s outer, relatively rigid shell.
Like other planets, the Earth formed from dust and gas, yet it stands apart as a dynamic realm. New geologic features continually emerge while old ones fade away.
Indeed, the Earth is quite old, as it has been around for about 4.56 billion years since its inception. During this time, the map of the planet and its surface features have changed, and life has evolved.
Internal processes (driven by the Earth’s interior heat) and external processes (driven by heat from the Sun) interact at the Earth’s surface to produce complex landscapes.
Geologic knowledge can help us to understand, and perhaps reduce, the danger of natural hazards, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and floods.
Geologic phenomena shape the Earth, giving rise to energy and mineral resources. Geologic study can help locate these resources and mitigate the consequences of their use.
Geology is a science, and the ideas of science come from observation, calculation, and experimentation by researchers—it is a human endeavor. Furthermore, geology utilizes ideas from physics, chemistry, and biology, so the study of geology provides an excellent opportunity for students to improve their overall science literacy.
