The rugged highland contrast with the rollinghills and flat plains found further south, while the western andnorthern islands, together with the highly-indented coastline addfurther to the scenic diversity. How this variety of landscapes cameinto being, the forces which shaped it , and the climatic extremeswhich drove it, are the themes explored in this volume. | 出版日期 | Book 1993 | 关键词 | Coast; Moor; environment; quaternary; hydrogeology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-1500-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-412-48840-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-1500-1 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1993 |
