Starting with the Precambrian rocks that hold clues to the origins of life and the development of an oxygenated atmosphere, it goes on to cover the warm seas, volcanism and episodes of mountain building, which formed the eastern third of the Australian continent. This illuminating history details the breakup of the supercontinents Rodinia and Gondwana, the times of previous glaciations, the development of climates and landscapes in modern Australia, and the creation of the continental shelves and coastlines. Separate chapters cover the origin of the Great Barrier Reef, the basalts in Eastern Australia, and the geology of the Solar System. This second edition features two new chapters, covering the evolution of life on Earth while emphasising the fossil record in Australia, and providing a geological perspective on climate change. From Uluru to the Great Dividing Range, from earthquakes to dinosaurs, from sapphires to the stars The Geology of Australia is a comprehensive exploration of the timeless forces that have shaped this continent. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Geology|zAustralia.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85054059 650 0 Geology, Stratigraphic.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85054086 650 0 Paleogeography|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85097061|zAustralia.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79021326-781 650 0 Paleontology|zAustralia.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2010104909 650 0 Physical geography|zAustralia.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010104911 650 7 Geology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/940627 650 7 Geology, Stratigraphic.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/940727 650 7 Paleogeography.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1051408 650 7 Paleontology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1051513 650 7 Physical geography.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1062647 651 7 Australia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204543 655 0 Electronic book. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJohnson, David, 1947 May 11-|tGeology of Australia.|b2nd ed.|dCambridge ; New York ; Cambridge University Press, 2009|z9780521767415|w(DLC) 2010286535 |w(OCoLC)317470694 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=616956|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
