À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Millions of years ago, the North American continent was dragged over the world's largest continental hotspot (a hug column of molten rock rising from the earth's interior), tracing a 5 mile wide, 500 mile long path northeastward across Idaho and generating huge volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. The hotspot lifted the Yellowstone Plateau to more than 7000 feet and pushed the Northern Rockies to new heights. This book is the story of those events and how the landscape of the two great national parks was shaped by earthquakes, volcanoes, geysers and, in the uplifted Rocky Mountains, mountain glaciers. The story is also a 'window' into the earth's interior, revealing the dynamic processes within.

Reviews
"Good coverage of volcanism, tectonism, glaciation. Beautiful photos.Great field trip guides and references. Up to date."--Robert J. Carson, WhitmanCollege, "Windows represents the most contemporary and complete story of thegeology and geophysics of Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. It will set a benchmarkand should have a shelf life of geological proportions."--Jackson HoleNewsR, "The photographs and diagrams are spectacular.Two interesting drivingtours that cover both parks introduce readers to some of the most spectacularscenery in the country and are entertaining and informative. Windows Into TheEarth bridges the gap between the highly technical analyses--of the Yellowstonehotspot, volcanism and active fault dynamics--and publications written forgeneral audiences."--American Scientist, "Good coverage of volcanism, tectonism, glaciation. Beautiful photos. Great field trip guides and references. Up to date."--Robert J. Carson, Whitman College, "The spectacular geysers and hot springs of Yellowstone are the world's best. They are in part the remains of a gigantic volcanic explosion 630,000 years ago that was a thousand times larger than the 1980 eruptions of Mount St. Helens. They also portend future volcanic action in this beautifulwonderland. Geologist Smith and science writer Siegel team up to tell the exciting story of how Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks came to be."--Bob Decker, former director of the U.S. Geological Surveys Hawaiian Volcano Observatory and Professor Emeritus, Dartmouth College, and BarbaraDecker, science writer, "Geologist Smith and science writer Siegel team up to tell the exciting story of how Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks came to be."--Bob Decker, former director of the U.S. Geological Surveys Hawaiian Volcano Observatory and Professor Emeritus, Dartmouth College, and Barbara Decker, science writer, "Geologist Smith and science writer Siegel team up to tell the exciting story of how Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks came to be."--Bob Decker, former director of the U.S. Geological Surveys Hawaiian Volcano Observatory and Professor Emeritus, Dartmouth College, and Barbara Decker, science writer"Good coverage of volcanism, tectonism, glaciation.
