In \u003ci\u003eGeology Underfoot in Yellowstone Country\u003c\/i\u003e, author and geologist Marc Hendrix takes you to over twenty sites in the park and surrounding region that illustrate the deep-time story of Yellowstone Country, from its early existence as a seafloor hundreds of millions of years ago to an earthquake swarm in 2008 that caused some folks to wonder if the Yellowstone Volcano was going to blow its top�again. Besides covering icons such as Old Faithful and Mammoth Hot Springs, \u003ci\u003eGeology Underfoot in Yellowstone Country\u003c\/i\u003e visits sites that are less well known but just as mind blowing, including outcrops of rock deposited by superfast incendiary flows of hot ash; the glacially sculpted grandeur of the Beartooth and Absaroka mountains witnessed along the Beartooth Highway; and the deadly Madison landslide that killed twenty-eight people in 1959. With prose tooled for the lay reader and a multitude of colorful photos and illustrations, \u003ci\u003eGeology Underfoot in Yellowstone Country\u003c\/i\u003e will help you read the landscape the way a geologist does.\u003cbr\u003eThe Geology Underfoot series encourages you to get out of your car for an up-close look at rocks and landforms. These books inform and enlighten, no matter how much�or how little�geology you already know. What�s more, they�re simply good reading, on-site or at home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mountain Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45866082893975,"sku":"9780878425761","price":1589.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780878425761.webp?v=1767466394","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/geology-underfoot-in-yellowstone-country-9780878425761","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
