How were the Appalachian Mountains formed? Are the barrier islands moving? Is there gold in the Carolinas? The answers to these questions and many more appear in this reader-friendly guide to the geology of North Carolina and South Carolina. Exploring the Geology of the Carolinas pairs a brief geological history of the region with 31 field trips to easily accessible, often familiar sites in both states where readers can observe firsthand the evidence of geologic change found in rocks, river basins, mountains, waterfalls, and coastal land formations.Geologist Kevin Stewart and science writer Mary-Russell Roberson begin by explaining techniques geologists use to read rocks, the science of plate tectonics, and the formation of the Carolinas. The field trips that follow are arranged geographically by region, from the Blue Ridge to the Piedmont to the Coastal Plain. Richly illustrated and accompanied by a helpful glossary of geologic terms, this field guide is a handy and informative carry-along for hikers, tourists, teachers, and families--anyone interested in the science behind the sights at their favorite Carolina spots.

Elegant Hand Clutch
Color: Champagne Gold-satin
Phone will indeed fit inside, beautiful to carry or put on the chain, color was a little lighter than I thought champagne would have been; however, it worked very well. Will last for years details were very good.

Ok bags for the price
Color: Cream-woven
Disappointed gold looks cheap. Gold edging is very thin looking. There’s no puff at all to the weave. Returning the one with gold trim.
*** Now, for the one that they call White with the silver trim this to me has a nicer look. The white is not a true white so if you’re looking for a true white,as I was, this is not it. It’s more of an off-white creamy tone. Not white as pictured. The silver of the clasp has a slightly aged tone to it. I think it would be prettier if it was a shiny silver, Clasp is nice and smooth to open and close. On both colors. I do think the white is a nice summer bag and could be used casually with jeans and a T-shirt.
