Hillslope materials and processes / by Selby, M. J.(Michael John),1936-(CARDINAL)332088;
Includes bibliographical references and index.1. Introduction -- 2. Bonds -- 3. Particles and Fabrics of Soil and Weak Sediments -- 4. Stress, Strain, and Rheology of Materials -- 5. Strength of Earth Materials -- 6. Properties of Rock Masses -- 7. Properties of Soils -- 8. Weathering Processes -- 9. Landforms from Weathering, Soils, and Duricrusts -- 10. Hillslope Stratigraphy and Form -- 11. Water in Soils and Hillslope Hydrology -- 12. Erosion of Hillslopes by Raindrops and Flowing Water -- 13. Mass Wasting of Soils -- 14. Flow Failures on Hillslopes -- 15. Rock-Slope Processes -- 16. Models and Hillslope Development -- 17. Landslide Hazards: Avoidance and Protection -- 18. Magnitudes and Frequencies of Erosional Events -- 19. Rates of Denudation and Their Implications -- Appendix: The International System (SI) of Units.This second edition has the same general purpose as the first edition: to provide an integrated review of the basic knowledge and methods which form the foundation for advanced study and contributions to developments in the understanding of hillslopes. Since publication of the first edition, not only has knowledge advanced but an interdisciplinary approach to much of the research has become increasingly common and productive. These developments are reflected in this book by the threefold expansion of the bibliography and by the bringing together of the approaches and scientific knowledge from the contributing disciplines of geology, civil engineering, hydrology, soil science, ecology, and geomorphology to produce a comprehensive text which makes possible an integrated understanding of hillslopes. Approximately seventy per cent of the text is new, with many new figures and plates, which has enabled Professor Selby to provide a more comprehensive introduction than in the first edition to the nature of chemical bonding, the properties of mineral particles and fabrics of weak rock, rheology of rock and soil, hillslope hydrology, hillslope stratigraphy, and landslide hazard investigation.

How do volcanoes make rock? : a look at igneous rock / by Owen, Ruth,1967-(CARDINAL)300402;
Includes bibliographical references (page 24) and index.A volcano erupts -- Making rock -- Rock from inside earth -- Making a mountain -- Making rock underground -- Rocks and minerals -- Famous igneous rocks -- Useful igneous rocks -- Rock hunting -- Science lab.As a huge volcano erupts, scorching-hot lava pours down its slopes. Soon, however, the lava will cool and become solid rock. This book explores how igneous rock is formed from magma, featuring a clear, accessible, step-by-step explanation of the process. Readers will not only learn about different types of igneous rock, they will also be introduced to some amazing igneous rock formations, as well as find out how people use this special kind of rock. Filled with information perfectly suited to the abilities and interests of an early elementary audience, this colorful, fact-filled volume gives readers a chance to learn and develop their powers of observation and critical thinking. From stunning photographs to high-interest facts about igneous rocks, this book makes learning about Earth s geology a lively, engaging experience.PK123Accelerated Reader ARAccelerated Reader AR
