Product Description

How are mountains formed? Why are there old and young mountains? Why do the shapes of South America and Africa fit so well together? Why is the Pacific surrounded by a ring of volcanoes and earthquake prone areas while the edges of the Atlantic are relatively peaceful?

Frisch and �Meschede and Blakey answer all these questions and more through the presentation and explanation of the geo-dynamic processes upon which the theory of continental drift is based and which have lead to the concept of plate tectonics.

Plate Tectonics: Continental Drift and Mountain Building Review

More than 40 years ago, I participated oceanographic surveys with a specialty in marine geophysics and published some of the research in the plate tectonic literature at the time. Having worked primarily in economic geology during the past 20 years I was interested in a readable up-to-date review of plate tectonics. This book was a very pleasant surprise. It is very readable, comprehensive, up-to-date and contains great illustrations to support the narrative. I highly recommend it.
