Northwest Exposures: A Geologic Study of the Northwest
The tale of the Northwest's geology began more than two billion years ago when an ancient continent split, creating oceanfront property in what is now western Idaho. Pacific islands mashed into that... This description may be from another edition of this product.

The Key to the Puzzle of Northwest Tectonics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
The Pacific Northwest is an assemblage of odds and ends of geologic history presenting many mysteries. This book attempts to make sense of the complex formation of the most geologically interesting puzzle in North America. From the earliest backbone of the continent each puzzle piece is discussed and moved into place as it accretes.In my explorations I had become convinced that the Siskyou-Klamath complex had once been an island. Here I find out how it came to be. It helped me discover the landlocked island chain underneath me.Not overwhelmingly technical, and full of good illustrations.
Great information for the nonscientist

Clearly and colorfully written, this book makes the Northwest landscape make sense, from rock layers to calderas. I have no real interest in geology, but this book is fascinating and fun to read. And you come away having learned a lot.
