Many site characterization studies and remediation designs have also evolved since that time. In order for the Environmental Engineer to understand the behavior and design remediation of the chemicals and pollutants in the environment, knowledge of the principles and tenets of geology is critical. Geology means the study of the Earth and is the science that seeks to collect, correlate, and interpret facts concerning the Earth. Its scope is almost boundless. The cycle that gives origin to the different types of rock and the geologic processes that produce the soils is discussed. On a macro scale, it seeks to discover the origin of the Earth, of mountains, valleys, glaciers, rocks, volcanoes, and a myriad number of other phenomena. Plate tectonics, continental drift, and subduction zones all played a role in the formation of our planet. On the micro scale, geology seeks to understand fluid flow through small pores and fractures. The fate and transport of chemicals through soils and especially through bedrock is a function of the geology. The rock structure and its understanding of the geologic processes which produce fractures and allows fluid flow is a major factor in remediation design. 588 Description based on print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Environmental geology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh90002376 650 0 Geology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85054037 650 7 Environmental geology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /912988 650 7 Geology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/940627 653 faults 653 geologic processes 653 igneous rocks 653 metamorphic rocks 653 minerals 653 sedimentary rocks 653 sediments 653 soils 653 structural geology 653 weathering 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Lambrechts, James R.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n98078721|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tBroadening participation in STEM. |dBingley, UK : Emerald Publishing, [2019]|z9781787569089 |w(OCoLC)1091647325 830 0 Environmental engineering collection.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2016086625|x2375-3633 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1918053|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
