Earth Surface Systems: Complexity, Order, and Scale (Natural Environment)

Jonathan D. Phillips

4.9/5 (17193 ratings)

Description:This text aims to provide a theory to overcome the problem of identifying the principles behind the interdependence of different aspects of nature. Climate, vegetation, geology, landforms, soils, hydrology, and other environmental factors are all linked. Many scientists agree that there must be some general principles about the way in which Earth surface systems operate, and about the ways the interactions of the biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere manifest themselves. Yet in order to understand and isolate them it would be necessary to build a simulation model that would be comparable in size to the reality it sought to replicate. The argument of this book is that the simultaneous presence of order and chaos reflects fundamental, common properties of Earth surface processes and systems. It shows how and why this is the case, in examples ranging from evolutionary and geological time scales, to micro-scale examinations of process mechanics.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
