Produced by Stephen Hutcheson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Geologic Story of the Great Plains" by Donald E. Trimble is a scientific publication written in the late 20th century. This book provides a non-technical exploration of the geologic evolution of the Great Plains, examining the land's formation, structure, and distinct geographic features. It aims to illuminate the complex geological processes that have shaped this region, making it accessible to a broad audience. In this work, Trimble delves into the origins of the Great Plains, tracing the geological history from ancient shallow seas to the current landscape characterized by grasslands, plateaus, and canyons. The book discusses significant geological events, such as warping, stream deposition, and glacial impacts that have created various landforms across the plains. It also describes key regions within the Great Plains, such as the Black Hills, High Plains, and the Missouri Plateau, while illustrating the interplay of natural processes like erosion and sedimentation that continue to sculpt the landscape today. Overall, Trimble's narrative is a comprehensive guide to understanding the Great Plains' geology and its significance to the broader geological history of North America.
