The book guides the interpretation of the 1:625 000 scale Bedrock Geology UK South map, covering England and Wales. This book accompanies the map, and describes the rocks and their origin, from the scattered remnants of ancient volcanoes to Cenozoic clays and gravels.
The geology of the UK has evolved against a background of continental drift, collision and break-up. This long and complex geological history produced the hugely varied sequences and distribution of rocks and landscapes seen across the United Kingdom today.
This book and the accompanying map are written for students and keen amateurs - anyone seeking to gain an understanding of the rocks and landscapes of England and Wales.
