Scotland is internationally renowned for the diversity of its geology, landforms and landscapes. The rock record spans most of geological time, from the Archaean to the Palaeogene, and represents the outcome of tectonic plate movements, associated geological processes, and sea-level and climate changes. Scotland incorporates primeval gneiss landscapes, the deeply eroded roots of the Caledonian mountain chain, landscapes of extensional tectonics and rifting, and eroded remnants of volcanic complexes that were active when the North Atlantic Ocean opened during the Palaeogene. The present relief reflects uplift and deep weathering during the Cenozoic, strongly modified during successive episodes of Pleistocene glaciation. . .This striking geodiversity is captured in this book through 29 chapters devoted to the evolution of Scotland’s sceneryand locations of outstanding geomorphological significance, including ancient palaeosurfaces, landscapes of glacial erosion and deposition, evidence of postglacial landscape modification by landslides, rivers and wind, and coastal geomo | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | Caledonian Mountains; Scotland Geomorphology; Ice Age Scotland; Alpine Mountains; Geotourism; Geoheritage | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-71246-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-71248-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-71246-4Series ISSN 2213-2090 Series E-ISSN 2213-2104 | | issn_series | 2213-2090 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 |
