Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a quantitative analysis of geological data â" a subject not yet fully appreciated in geological literature â" to assess the magnitude of geological processes and the time they occur over. The author presents new calculations relating to chemical denudation, which provide a more accurate estimate of the erosion of the Earth's surface by water. These calculations are then used to explore topics such as the rate of accumulation of sediments, the distribution of land and sea, and the permanence of continents and oceans. The author argues that accurate measurement and quantification are essential for a proper understanding of geological processes and debunks several popular theories based on negative evidence. This book will interest anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the forces that have shaped our planet.
