Plate Tectonics

For students, geologists, or anyone who is interested in the developments in the study of the Earth's structure, Plate Tectonics offers a full understanding of the theory that provides a single guiding principle to the earth's geological history. Beginning with a historical overview of plate tectonic theory in this century, the book describes in clear, nontechnical language how plate tectonics work, how it has affected evolution and extinction, and what the future holds.
