Beneath Scotland

Synopsis

The composition of the continental crust beneath Scotland is deduced by combining geophysical measurements such as reflection seismic and gravity anomaly data with observations of the composition of the rocks and minerals found in various parts of the country. In addition data is collected on the radioactive element in the content of the rocks. Suggestions are put forward to explain the differences between the continental crust in Scotland and northern England.

Notes

NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
