Plate Tectonics is a book of exercises and background information that introduces and demonstrates the basics of the subject. In a lively and lucid manner, it brings together a great deal of material in spherical trigonometry that is necessary to understand plate tectonics and the research literature written about it. It is intended for use in first year graduate courses in geophysics and tectonics, and provides a guide to the quantitative understanding of plate tectonics.Plate tectonicsGeodynamicsElectronic books.Plate tectonics.Geodynamics.551.1551.136Cox Allan1926-1987.923833Hart Robert Brian62741MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455043703321Plate tectonics2073252UNINA
