Geology. Minerals, continents, noosphere. Volcit P.

It turns out that the earth is not a ball! More precisely, not quite a ball. Diamonds are made of coal, marble from silt, asphalt from oil. The river may not flow anywhere, and the forest knows how to heat itself and water itself. A person, along with other living beings, is actively involved in this incredible cycle. And in our power to make the influence of people on our planet is careful, creative.

For this, you need to study the secret and excellent processes of earthly geology: how is the planet arranged from the inside? Where did the water come from and what is going on with it now? Why so many different breeds of minerals and other substances in the bowels of the planet? How do volcanoes and earthquakes work? And who lives inside the soil? The person has already “ruined everything” or not yet? The book of Peter Volcit “Geology: Minerals, Continents, Noosphere” will help to figure it out. And in home experiments it will be possible to check in practice what science talks about.
