More than 500 million years of geologic discord along the western
margin of the North American tectonic plate has built the land that
is British Columbia. Today, the turmoil continues as teh Juan de
Fuca tectonic plate inches beneath Vancouver Island, triggering
earthquakes and generating the magma that feeds the volcanoes of
the Cascades. _Roadside Geology of Southern British Columbia_
explains the province's geologic history in simple terms, covering
southern British Columbia from the northen tip of Vancouver Island
to the Alberta border east of Golden. Introductory sections
describe the geology of four regions - Vancouver Island, the Coast,
the Interior Plateaus, and the Columbia and Rocky Mountains.
Thirty-one road guides, complete with maps, photographs, and
diagrams, locate and interpret the rocks and landforms visible from
the province's highways and ferry routes. Includes 118
black-and-white photographs, 96 two-color maps and illustrations,
glossary, references, and index.
