Roadside Geology of Montana (Roadside Geology Series)
Product Review "Designed for reading at 55 mph on roads which have undergone some geological changes of their own, and liberally sprinkled with diagrams, maps and black-and-white photographs." --Missoulian Product Description Montana's geologic history includes a long succession of disturbances that changed the rocks, then changed many of them again. Unraveling these events reveals a geologically quiet continent that got scrambled in a long and grinding collision with the Pacific crustal plate. Through detailed geologic maps and lively text, Roadside geology of Montana deciphers the complicated rock record and uncovers each layer of Big Sky Country. Reader Reviews In this guide, you will learn why underground coal fires have played a prominent role in shaping the surface topography and nature of the overlying strata in parts of eastern Montana. You will learn why widespread dryland farming in the early 20th century often caused devistating salinization of the soil. Filled with numerous photos and illustrations, the past and present of Montana's geology is at your fingertips. From the sedimentation, coal formation and general uplift of eastern and central Montana, to the dominant influence of tectonic and igneous events in the western region, to the recent effects of glaciation in the northern regions, Alt and Hyndman provide you with a detailed description and explanation.
