В прошлом июне через амазон мы выписали книгу по геологии Германии "The Geology of
Germany: A Process-Oriented Approach (Regional Geology
Reviews)", написанную двумя авторами: Martin Meschede и
Laurence N. Warr.
Аннотация
This richly illustrated book presents Germany’s geological
evolution in the context of the Earth’s dynamic history. It starts
with an introduction to Geology and explains the plate tectonic
development, as well as the formation of both ancient and recent
mountain belts – namely the Caledonian, Variscan and the modern-day
Alps – that formed this part of Europe. A dedicated chapter
discusses the origin of earthquakes in Germany, the occurrence of
young volcanic rocks and the various episodes of rock deformation
and metamorphism at these complex crossroads of plate tectonic
history.
The book highlights Germany’s diverse geological history, ranging
from the origin of the Earth, the formation of deep crystalline
rocks, and their overlying sedimentary sequences, to its more
recent “ice age” quaternary cover. The last chapter addresses the
shaping of the modern landscape. Though the content is also
accessible for non-geologists, it is primarily intended for
geoscience students and an academic audience.
