Excerpt from The Problem of Volcanism
The following chapters on phases Of the problem Of volcanism were prepared for the course Of Silliman Lectures at Yale University for the year 1914, and represent the lectures as they were then given, with slight elaboration in some parts. They were intended both for students Of geology and for others who, while not having made a Special study of the earth, are interested in its history and in theories respecting its origin and the possible causes Of volcanic activity at or near its surface. For this reason the attempt was made to avoid, as far as possible, the use of somewhat technical terms; and when their use seemed unavoidable, they were generally defined, at the risk Of making the treat ment appear elementary. It seemed desirable also to reduce the problem to its simplest elements, and to attempt to trace each back to its fundamental basis, or to express it in terms Of elemental principles. It is hoped that in this manner the discussion may appeal to a wider range Of readers than would be interested in a more technical treatment Of the subject.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the history of scientific theories and hypotheses regarding the enigmatic force of volcanism. Beginning with early, seminal attempts to explain its origins, such as the nebular hypotheses of Buffon, Kant, and Laplace, the author traces the evolution of our understanding of volcanism through the development of geology, chemistry, and astronomy. The book explores how volcanism relates to the broader themes of the Earth's formation, its geological and chemical composition, and its place within the solar system. Delving into the complexities of volcanic activity, the author explores the physical characteristics of volcanic eruptions, the mechanisms that drive them, and the role gases and heat play in their formation. Throughout, the book contextualizes volcanism within the larger historical framework of Earth sciences, highlighting the dynamic nature of scientific knowledge and the ongoing quest to unravel the intricate workings of our planet. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332734610_0
