Physical Processes in Earth and Environmental Sciences

This book provides a sound introduction to the basic physical processes that dominate the workings of the Earth, its atmosphere and hydrosphere. It systematically introduces the physical processes involved in the Earth’s systems without assuming an advanced physics or mathematical background.

• Offers an integrated approach to the study of earth, marine and atmospheric environmental sciences, reflecting current trends in undergraduate courses.
  
• Natural examples of physical processes, rather than abstract physics and maths, are used throughout to illustrate the scientific principles involved.
