Nearly all major planets and moons in our Solar System have been
visited by spacecraft and the data they have returned has revealed
the incredible diversity of planetary surfaces. Featuring a wealth
of images, this textbook explores the geological evolution of the
planets and moons. Introductory chapters discuss how information
gathered from spacecraft is used to unravel the geological
complexities of our Solar System. Subsequent chapters focus on
current understandings of planetary systems. The textbook shows how
planetary images and remote sensing data are analyzed through the
application of fundamental geological principles. It draws on
results from spacecraft sent throughout the Solar System by NASA
and other space agencies. Aimed at undergraduate students in
planetary geology, geoscience, astronomy and solar system science,
it highlights the differences and similarities of the surfaces at a
level that can be readily understood by non-specialists.
