Creating the Gottesman Hall of Planet Earth

Resource tracing the formation of the earth over 4.5 billion years, explaining how the earth has evolved, how to read rocks, why there are ocean basins, mountains and continents, what causes climate and climate change, and what makes the earth habitable. Provides details of rock collecting expeditions, the scientists involved, steps involved in preparing rocks for exhibition, and tools used on expeditions. Also features an illustrated glossary of geology terms and selected minerals.
