On Earth, nothing is still. Mountains rise and fall. Tides ebb and flow. Even the continents themselves are on the move. Beneath the surface, a nuclear engine powers earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the shifting of continents. Above ground, the sun causes the wind to howl, rain to pour, rivers to churn, and oceans to swell with waves. Processes That Shape the Earth surveys these forces and the ways they sculpt the planet. The modern theory of plate tectonics is introduced, along with other pertinent topics in physical geology. Several chapters add relevant historical context, presenting readers with fascinating discussions of Earth's origin, its history over billions of years, and the recent changes that have resulted from human activity.
Although most people have some knowledge of the essential structure
of the Solar System, few are familiar with the large and varied array
of objects that travel with and between the planets in their journeys
around the Sun.
Imaging techniques from Earth continue to
improve, while missions such as Voyager, Galileo and the Hubble Space
Telescope have yielded many excellent images. Most significantly of
all, several missions in recent years have shown a huge diversity of
objects in close-up for the first time. The book will take advantage of
the rich pool of images that is available, to tell a story of the Solar
System that has not been told before.
