摘要:

The Royal Society, founded in the seventeenth century, exists to promote all fields of science. We asked Peter Warren, its Executive Secretary, to explain how the Society is currently helping geology and geologists.

摘要:

Pictures in digital form taken from space or aircraft can be processed to reveal useful structural and compositional information on geology. Widespread, uniform coverage enhances our understanding of large areas of this and other planets. Continuing improvements in technology suggest that remote sensing will play an increasingly important role in geological research and exploration.

摘要:

Kaolinite, an aristocrat of minerals, serves as the medium on which is printed the records of scholarly human culture from the oldest known to the present. It also serves as a refractory to confine ultra–high temperatures and protect furnaces used in modern industry and technology. Produced by reaction between rigid igneous silicates and physically yielding but chemically potent water, kaolin crystals reveal a graphic story, shown in scanning electron micrographs, of most diverse properties, geneses and potential application

摘要:

Mountain belts are constructed over periods of hundreds of millions of years from unrelated fragments carried across the ocean basins from distant sites, to be accreted along continental margins. Continental collision is an incidental rather than a necessary requirement for orogeny. Palaeogeographical reconstructions using the present geographical relationships of the fragments which make up orogenic belts are doomed to failure.
