Produktbeschreibung
In the closing part a variety of geological controls is reviewed and their primacy over other factors is advocated, followed by an attempt to provide a typology of natural granite landscapes. Finally, certain specific ways of human transformation of granite landscapes are presented. The book will be useful to a range of earth science disciplines, including geomorphology, igneous petrology, engineering geology and soil science. Cultural geographers and people dealing with conservation of geological heritage should find it of interest. Examples from all parts of the world and extensive referencing ensure that it will act as an up-to-date guidebook to the fascinating world of granite geomorphology.
Using examples from around the world, Piotr Migon offers a comprehensive view of the geomorphology of granite areas, showing how the specific characteristics of the rock itself influence natural landscapes, and why natural processes shaping the earth's surface act so distinctively on granite.
