Glaciation Of The Puget Sound Region (1913) - J Harlen Bretz - Bog

Glaciation Of The Puget Sound Region is a book written by J. Harlen Bretz in 1913. The book provides a detailed analysis of the geological history of the Puget Sound region in the United States, specifically focusing on the impact of glaciation on the landscape. Bretz's research is based on extensive fieldwork and geological surveys conducted in the region, as well as a thorough analysis of existing scientific literature on the subject.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the region's geological history. Bretz begins by discussing the formation of the Puget Sound basin and the various geological processes that have shaped the landscape over millions of years. He then delves into the role of glaciation in shaping the region, including the movement of glaciers, the formation of glacial deposits, and the impact of glacial erosion on the landscape.Throughout the book, Bretz provides detailed descriptions of the various geological features of the region, including the formation of drumlins, eskers, and moraines. He also discusses the impact of glaciation on the region's flora and fauna, including the migration patterns of various animal species.Glaciation Of The Puget Sound Region is an important work in the field of geology, and is still widely cited today by researchers studying the geological history of the Pacific Northwest. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an excellent resource for anyone interested in the region's geological history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
