(James) Geology Produced by Heather Clark, Tom Cosmas and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This book was produced from scanned images of public domain material from the Google Print project.) "Geology" by James Geikie is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book serves as an elementary manual intended for self-instruction and educational purposes, focusing on the essential principles and processes of geology. Geikie aims to make geology accessible to learners, detailing various rock types, geological formations, and the influencing forces of nature on Earth's physical structure. The opening of "Geology" establishes the fundamental definition of geology as the science dedicating itself to understanding Earth's origin and its structural evolution over time. Geikie explains the diverse classification of rocks, introducing categories such as mechanically formed, chemically formed, organically derived, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. Distinct examples illustrate how specific geological processes like water action and sedimentation create different rock types, setting the stage for deeper exploration into the mechanics and histories of Earth’s materials. This introductory section effectively primes the reader for further investigation into the broader concepts of geology that the book promises to unravel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
