The Teacher-Friendly Guide™ to the Earth Science of the South Central US
Earth science is an inherently local subject. No two places share exactly the same sequence of events that led to the way they are today. In this sense, Earth science is a subject to be explored in one's own neighborhood, examining the detailed sequence of rocks for the history that has gone on under our feet. Through chapters on rocks, fossils, geological history, minerals, and more, this volume explores the South Central United States. Readers will be able to make sense of the place they live and the places they visit, through a comprehension of a few Big Ideas and a basic grasp of the "big picture" story of geological history of their area.
This volume is part of a national series of seven Teacher-Friendly Guides™ to regional Earth science, covering all 50 states, and written with an eye toward the kind of information and graphics that a secondary school teacher might need in their classroom.
