(1)
In Chapter 1, Plate Tectonics, Page 18, ninth word from end of sentence under
A Dynamic Earth, should read “north”, and not “norht”.
(2)
In Chapter 2, Minerals, Page 1, delete the first sentence under Basic Chemistry.
It is redundant and unnecessary.
(3)
In Chapter 4, Weathering, Page 3, second word from end of second sentence
under Spheroidal Weathering should read “spheriodal” and not “spheriodial”.
(4)
In Chapter 4, Weathering, Page 6, thirteenth word in third sentence under
Surface Area should read “chemically”, and not “chemical.
(5)
In Chapter 4, Weathering, Page 8, right column, fourth and fifth sentences in
second paragraph, change K- to read K+. The new sentences should now read
“This observation suggests that solutions migrating through soils tend to carry
abundant K+ ions, but fewer Na+ or Ca++ ions. In other words they are
saturated with respect to K+, but are under saturated with regards to Na+ and
Ca++.”
(6)
In Chapter 5, Soils, Page 27, Figure 22 caption, sixth word of first sentence
should read “is” and not “are”.
(7)
In Chapter 5, Soils, Page 29, Figure 24 caption, seventh word in second
sentence should read “defined” and not “defiend”, and the twelfth word should
read “typically” and not “typically”.

In Chapter 6, Sedimentary Rocks, Page 9, fifth word in second sentence under
Inorganic Carbonates should read “(Figure 11)” and not “(Figure 10)”.

Summary should read “(Figure 9)” and not “(Figure 10)”.
(10) In Chapter 8, Geologic Time, Part II: Isotopic Dating, Page 20, last word in
second sentence under Calculating Ages should read “Figure 11”, and not
“Figure 10”.
(11) In Chapter 10, Structural Geology, Page 5, the twenty-fifth word in the first
sentence should read “orange” and not “blue”.
(12) In Chapter 10, Structural Geology, Page 5, insert after “In contrast,” in second
sentence the following phrase: “throughout distortion by simple shear”. The
second sentence should now read “In contrast, throughout distortion by simple
shear, the normal b remains parallel to the Y axis.”
(13) In Chapter 12, Glaciers, Page 1, fifth paragraph down in left column, third
sentence, change “a” to “an”.
(14) In Chapter 12, Glaciers, Page 2, caption for figure 1, sixth word should read
“varieties” and not “varities”.
(15) In Chapter 12, Glaciers, Page 6, last sentence, first paragraph under Budget of a
Glacier, ninth word should read “budgets”, and not “budges”.
(16) In Chapter 12, Glaciers, Page 7, second sentence in first paragraph under
Glacial Movement, fifth word should read “the”, and not “The”.
