Description

This comprehensive textbook provides a modern overview of plate tectonics, covering its multifaceted nature and interdisciplinary approach. By integrating various geological observations and processes, it offers a harmonious model for understanding the Earth's outer part in relation to its deep interior.

Supported by clear prose, helpful analogies, and vibrant colour imagery, readers will gain an in-depth understanding of how plates interact to produce different topography, rock assemblages, and deformation features along plate boundaries. The authors' expertise shines through in this accessible introduction to quantitative topics, making it ideal for a single-semester course.

Student-friendly features include clear chapter paths and a rich suite of online resources that bring plate tectonics to life. With its balanced approach, this textbook is an excellent choice for students seeking a thorough understanding of this fundamental geological concept.
