(William Herbert) Earth Features and Their Meaning An Introduction to Geology for the Student and the General Reader E-text prepared by Giovanni Fini and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive (https://archive.org) "Earth Features and Their Meaning" by William Herbert Hobbs is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work serves as an introduction to geology, aimed at both students and general readers, exploring how the earth's features have been shaped by geological processes. It delves into various aspects of geology, emphasizing the significance of understanding earth features in the context of historical and contemporary landscapes. The opening of the text establishes a foundation for the study of geology, discussing its subdivisions and the importance of field observations in interpreting earth features. Hobbs outlines the relationship between geological processes and the resulting topography, asserting that change is a constant in nature rather than stability. He emphasizes the need for observational geology to differentiate between speculative philosophy, urging readers to approach geological phenomena with an open mind and a critical perspective. This introduction sets the stage for a deeper exploration of geological history and the processes that have shaped the earth over time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
