Geology: Minerals, Continents, Noosphere

It turns out, Earth is not a sphere! More precisely, not quite a sphere. Diamonds are made from coal, marble from clay, asphalt from oil. A river may not flow anywhere, and a forest can heat and water itself. Humans, along with other living beings, actively participate in this incredible cycle. And it is in our power to ensure that human impact on our planet is careful and constructive.
To achieve this, we need to study the secret and beautiful processes of Earth’s geology: How is the planet structured from the inside? Where did the water come from and what is happening to it now? Why are there so many different types of rocks, minerals, and other substances in the planet's depths? How do volcanoes and earthquakes work? And who lives in the soil? Has humanity already "ruined everything" or not yet? The book by Pyotr Voltsit "Geology: Minerals, Continents, Noosphere" will help clarify these questions. And you can practically verify what science describes through home experiments.

Pyotr Voltsit is an author of popular science and artistic books, a translator, and an educator. He graduated from the biological and chemical faculty of the Moscow State Pedagogical Institute. He worked as a school teacher and has been leading classes in a young naturalists club for many years.
For middle and high school students.
