Description for Almeria
Paperback. Field guide to a region exhibiting superb structural geology, a complete Neogene sedimentary sequence and classic dryland geomorphology.
Series: Classic Geology in Europe. Num Pages: 192 pages. BIC Classification: RG. Dimension: 218 x 139 x 18. Weight in Grams: 426.
Almeria exhibits superb structural geology (especially the fault system), a complete Neogene sedimentary sequence (itself rare) involving an enormous range of sedimentary environments, and classic dryland geomorphology. Exposure of the sedimentary sequences is excellent. The area is spectacular and the landform assemblage includes a wide range of erosional and depositional landscapes. Furthermore, the region enables linkages to be made between the several disciplines of geodynamics. The Neogene sequence cannot be interpreted without considering the evolving tectonics nor the contemporaneous geomorphology. Neither may the geomorphology be understood without considering the modern landscape as a development from the Neogene tectonic and sedimentary ... Read more

Reviews for Almeria
`From a critical view, this book can be considered as a general volume for those who are interested in geology in a simple way or those tourists who are curious to know more about the history of the earth. Especially the last section of the book has potential for use by the geo-tourism industry or as a guide by teachers ... Read more
