Banerjee -- Time and tide., 0, , Nebulous Earth follows the development of the 19th century's most popular explanation for the origin of the Solar System, Laplace's Nebular Hypothesis. This theory supposes that a flattened mass of gas extending beyond Neptune's orbit cooled and shrank, throwing off in the process successive rings that in time coalesced to form the several planets. Throughout the century, the hypothesis also played an integral role in suggesting the theory of evolution's respectability in biology. Scientists long suspected that the Earth's interior is the seat of powerful forces that shape the Earth's surface and can threaten our lives with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. From fiery fluid to rigid solid to electromagnetic dynamo, Professor Brush recounts their theories about what actually occurs in the Earth's interior., , , 1997.108, , , Nebular hypothesis., , 0, Solar system, Earth (Planet), , , 0, 0, Origin., Core., Brush, Stephen G., 1, , History of modern planetary physics ;, v. 1., Publisher description, Table of contents, 4, 4, 2, 1, http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam027/95032975.html, http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam026/95032975.html, Baker and Taylor, BTCP, , , 95032975, HELD BY AP$ - 235 OTHER HOLDINGS, , , c, a, m, a, a32854824zDLCdURIhFulliLCCkDDCnSummarytContentsu20130830, a224563811zCLSbHARVARD UNIV, CABOT SCI LIBRhLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCu20100723, a133780055zRBNbBROWN UNIVhFulliLCCu20100628, a176966878zPULbPRINCETON UNIVhFulliLCCkDDCu20100726, a370059880zUBYbBRIGHAM YOUNG UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20130722, a154418437zMDAVPbAMERICAN INST OF PHYSICShFullu20100722, a154961707zAOWbAMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOC LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20100721, a188711851zPAUbUNIV OF PENNSYLVANIAhFulliLCCkDDCu20100729, a127564318zIPSbINSTITUTE FOR ADV STUDY LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20100728, a475704167zTEUbTEMPLE UNIVhFullu20100718, aZ0bAP$, QB601 .B89 1996 v.1
