Ancient Sea-Margins, As Memorials Of Changes In The Relative Level Of Sea And Land

By Robert Chambers

Book Overview

Ancient Sea-Margins, As Memorials Of Changes In The Relative Level Of Sea And Land is a book written by Robert Chambers. In this book, Chambers explores the geological history of the Earth's coastlines and the changes that have occurred in the relative levels of the sea and land over time. He examines the evidence of these changes, including the presence of marine fossils in rocks that are now far inland, and the existence of raised beaches and other geological formations that indicate past sea levels. Chambers also discusses the theories of other geologists and naturalists who have contributed to our understanding of these ancient sea-margins. This book is a fascinating exploration of the Earth's geological history and the ways in which it has shaped the world we live in today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
