Description
Discover how the Earth's surface was shaped by plate tectonics in this engaging and informative title.
A brief history of Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift sets the stage for an exploration of magnetic pole reversal, divergent and convergent plate boundaries, the ocean-continental division, and the San Andreas Fault. Colorful images, helpful charts and graphs, and easy-to-read text bring these fascinating topics to life.
A lab activity is included to encourage further exploration of geology, making this book a great choice for those looking to learn more about plate tectonics.
