About This Book

The text surveys the hidden processes and features beneath the Earth's surface, combining geological history, fossil evidence, and the mechanics of subterranean heat, uplift and subsidence. It explains the formation of strata and mineral deposits, examines volcanic activity and earthquakes, and describes springs, geysers, and artesian wells. Attention is given to caverns and their peculiar fauna and formations, the preservation of ancient organisms in rock, and human interactions with the underground through mining and urban catastrophe. Throughout it links scientific explanation to practical consequences, from resource exploitation to natural hazards.
