A field-oriented introduction to Earth’s features

Archibald Geikie’s introduction to physical geography turns landscape study into a sequence of questions and suggested observations. Its subjects range from the shape of the Earth and the origins of rain and snow to the movement of water across land and the salinity of the sea. The emphasis is on noticing geographical features and considering how they formed, connecting broad Earth-science topics with observations a reader can make directly.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults beginning to explore Earth science
  • Readers who enjoy learning through questions and observation
  • Those interested in landforms, weather, and the movement of water

Book overview

Guides the reader in gaining a fuller appreciation of the natural landscape by posing questions and suggesting observations they can make for themselves. Includes such topics as how to determine the shape of the earth, where rain and snow come from, the various ways that water circulates over land, and why the sea is salt. Lays the foundation for a lifetime of ongoing interest in and observation of ever-changing geographical features, with a greater understanding of how it came to be the way it is today.
