Description: Northwest Exposures chronicles the events that shaped the ì region's rock and landforms through the ages. The tale of the ì Northwest's geology began more than two billion years ago when an ì ancient continent split, creating oceanfront property in what is ì now western Idaho. Pacific islands mashed into that coastline, ì making large parts of Washington and Oregon. These events were ì followed by monstrous volcanic eruptions, catastrophic ice age ì floods, and mountains rising to an accompaniment of earthquakes. 456 pages, illustrated, paperback
