AS Business Studies (Paperback)

We all live on the Earth, but how many of us are aware of all the processes that shape - and sometimes shake - its surface? This guide is a comprehensive introduction to the nature and history of the Earth, ranging from volcanoes to the implications of our limited natural resources. Each chapter covers a particular geological process in detail, illustrated with annotated diagrams and photographs. Topics include: the origin and evolution of the Earth; rocks, minerals and fossils; key geological processes; earthquakes and volcanoes; geology on other planets; and how to plan and carry out field work.
