In the second revised edition of this widely used textbook, practical aspects are given particular emphasis. Two new chapters have been added-one on geology in engineering, another summarizing the subject matter of physical geology and explaining its relation to earth history. The chapter on geology in engineering, and those on minerals and mineral deposits, offer especially good material for a...

Iceland is located where the asthenosperic flow under the the NE Atlantic plate boundary interacts and mixes with a deep-seated mantle plume. The buoyancy of the Iceland plume leads to dynamic uplift of the Iceland plateau, and high volcanic productivity over the plume produces a thick crust. (Fig.1). The Greenland-Færöy ridge represents the Icland plume track through the history of the NE Atla...

Abstract. This study investigates the potential value of, and provides a method for, creation of flexible, digital, asynchronous platforms to create student-centred materials for use in an online and/or blended learning environment. We made Thinglink “virtual microscope” resource geology associated courses higher education. is achieved through dissemination simple comprising interactive imagery...

The geology and magmatism of the northern Mariana Trough (NMT) represent a type example for development back-arc basin (BAB). It is mature spreading center in south propagating northward via rifting arc rear lithosphere response to trench retreat overriding plate extension space time. thus essential fully characterize its tectonomagmatic processes that are potentially global significance. For t...
