This vivid introduction explains the course of orogeny (mountain formation) and the resulting structures, the cycles of plate tectonics and the evolution of landforms. It also presents surprising findings from the latest research. Popular travel destinations are described in detail ? ideal when preparing for a trip ? while a wealth of photos and graphics illustrate the text. Why are mountains as tall as they are? How does high-pressure rock come to the surface? Is there feedback between tectonics and the climate? How can mountains form without continental collision, far away from any plate boundaries? And how do we know all this? These and many other questions will be answered. 410 0$aEarth and Environmental Science Series 606 $aGeology 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aPetrology 606 $aGeology 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aPetrology 615 0$aGeology. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 0$aPetrology. 615 14$aGeology. 615 24$aGeomorphology. 615 24$aPetrology. 676 $a551.41 676 $a551.432 700 $aNeukirchen$b Florian$0912806 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910633918503321 996 $aThe Formation of Mountains$92994427 997 $aUNINA
