Practical Earth Science Exercises acquaints students with practical aspects of physical geology, natural hazards, and engineering applications of geology. The scope encompasses material such as world population distribution, classification of solid Earth materials, topographic map interpretation, construction of geologic maps and cross sections, recognition and assessment of volcanic earthquake, flood, and landslide hazards, measurement of earthquake location, magnitude, and intensity, geologic occurrence of petroleum and groundwater resources, groundwater flow dynamics, and adverse effects of groundwater withdrawal.
The new third edition of Practical Earth Science Exercises by Jon Nourse, Ernie Roumelis, Jeff Marshall, and Dave Berry:
Includes modified / updated exercises based on instructor and student feedback and testing.
Features a reorganized chapter sequence so that fundamental concepts and definitions are thoroughly introduced before exercises involving practical applications, natural hazards, geotechnical analysis.
Is Flexible! Instructors of introductory level Earth Science, Natural Disasters, and Engineering Geology courses may select various exercises in different sequences to meet the needs of their lecture itinerary.
Is Student Friendly! Important terms are highlighted within the text and web links are cited in the exercises for further information on natural disasters.
