About This Book
A systematic geological survey of a compact mountain range on the Colorado Plateaus that combines field descriptions of individual peaks and formations with structural interpretation. The text analyzes laccolite intrusions and includes a detailed study of their rocks and origin, traces uplift and erosional history, and develops mechanical explanations for folding and flexure. It also treats processes of weathering, transport, and corrasion, formulates principles of land sculpture, examines drainage system development and stability, and closes with practical observations on mineral and land-use implications.
