It starts with an introduction to Geology and explains the plate tectonic development, as well as the formation of both ancient and recent mountain belts ? namely the Caledonian, Variscan and the modern-day Alps ? that formed this part of Europe. A dedicated chapter discusses the origin of earthquakes in Germany, the occurrence of young volcanic rocks and the various episodes of rock deformation and metamorphism at these complex crossroads of plate tectonic history. The book highlights Germany?s diverse geological history, ranging from the origin of the Earth, the formation of deep crystalline rocks, and their overlying sedimentary sequences, to its more recent ?ice age? quaternary cover. The last chapter addresses the shaping of the modern landscape. Though the content is also accessible for non-geologists, it is primarily intended for geoscience students and an academic audience. 410 0$aRegional Geology Reviews,$x2364-6446 606 $aGeology 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aGeology 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aGeomorphology 615 0$aGeology. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 14$aGeology. 615 24$aGeophysics. 615 24$aGeomorphology. 676 $a554.3 700 $aMeschede$b Martin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0881843 702 $aWarr$b Laurence N$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337922503321 996 $aThe Geology of Germany$91969797 997 $aUNINA
