Description
Dispel the complexities of geological facts with this series of eight fully detailed geology models. In addition to surface formations, cross-sectioning depicts subsurface structures.
< BR>
The purpose of these models is to show typical topographic forms and their relation to underlying geologic structures. They are not a representation of actual landscapes except in a very general way. However, if a line were drawn from the state of Washington to the state of North Carolina, most of these land forms would be encountered within a few hundred miles of either side of such a line. Great forces have been at work for hundreds of millions of years to shaped the crust of the earth. These forces are still at work and will continue as long as the earth exists. All geologic processes can be classified under three heads: Diastrophism, Volcanism, and Gradation. Each models is 14" x 12" and is sturdy enough for student handling or wall display. Model includes: 8 formed models and 1 guide.
