by William O. Crosby
Publisher: D.C. Heath & Co 1881
ISBN/ASIN: 1406782300
Number of pages: 221
Description:
Our work in this short course will be limited to dynamical and structural geology. We will attempt, first, a general sketch of the forces now concerned in the formation of rocks and rock-structures; and after that we will study the composition and other characteristics of the common minerals and rocks.
