Full Description
With its strong readability and engaging, instructive illustrations, this trusted bestseller returns with a hybrid and streamlined focus on core principles. Earth: An Introduction to Physical Geology maintains a learning objective-driven approach throughout each chapter: The text provides students with a structured learning path, tied to learning objectives with opportunities for students to demonstrate their understanding at the end of each section. The authors' emphasis on currency and relevance includes the latest thinking in the field, particularly in the dynamic area of plate tectonics.The Twelfth Edition, Pearson Science's first augmented reality, hybrid textbook, uses the BouncePages image recognition app (FREE on both iOS and Android stores) to connect students' digital devices to the print textbook, enhancing their reading and learning experience. Tarbuck/Lutgens's innovative SmartFigures feature has been expanded, adding new digital content via Project Condor, Mobile Field Trips by Michael Collier, Animated Figures, and additional tutorial videos from Callan Bentley.This edition also includes MasteringGeology, the most complete, easy-to-use, engaging tutorial and assessment tool available.KEY TOPICS: An Introduction to Geology; Plate Tectonics: A Scientific Revolution Unfolds; Matter and Minerals; Magma, Igneous Rocks, and Intrusive Activity; Volcanoes and Volcanic Hazards; Weathering and Soil; Sedimentary Rocks; Metamorphism and Metamorphic Rocks; Geologic Time; Crustal Deformation; Earthquakes and Earthquake Hazards; Earth's Interior; Divergent Boundaries: Origin and Evolution of the Ocean Floor; Convergent Boundaries: Origin of Mountains; Mass Wasting: The Work of Gravity; Running Water; Groundwater; Glaciers and Glaciation; Deserts and Winds; Shorelines; Global Climate Change; Earth's Evolution Through Geologic Time; Energy and Mineral Resources; Touring Our Solar System; Metric and English Units Compared MARKET: For all readers interested in learning more about earth's physical geology principles.0134127641/ 9780134127644 Earth: An Introduction to Physical Geology Plus MasteringGeology with eText -- Access Card PackagePackage consists of:0134074254 / 9780134074252 Earth: An Introduction to Physical Geology0134182642 / 9780134182643MasteringGeology with Pearson eText -- ValuePack Access Card -- for Earth: An Introduction to Physical Geology
