catalog abstract "Processes such as convection, thermal evolution of the earth, evolution of the crust and mantle, orogeny and rifting are explained. Historical topics such as the origin of life, paleontologic extinction events, differences between the Archean and younger time periods, deposition of Precambrian sediments, and evolution of the atmosphere and oceans are discussed.".
