Dynamics of Plate Tectonics and Mantle Convection

Dynamics of Plate Tectonics and Mantle Convection, written by specialists in the field, gathers state-of-the-art perspectives on the dynamics of plate tectonics and mantle convection. Plate tectonics is a unifying theory of solid Earth sciences. In its initial form, it was a kinematic theory that described how the planet''s surface is fragmented into several rigid lithospheric plates that move in ...
