Volcanoes of North America: A Reading Lesson for Students of Geography and Geology

Excerpt from Volcanoes of North America: A Reading Lesson for Students of Geography and GeologyThe series of active and recently extinct volcanoes forming the major part of the Windward islands, sepa rating the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic, will not be considered, as it is most intimately associated with the geography and geology of South America. Although Iceland is more closely connected geographically with America than with Europe, its political association with the Old World, and the fact that it has frequently been described by European travellers, make it convenient to omit it from the present discussion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
