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. 606 $aPlate tectonics 606 $aGeodynamics 615 0$aPlate tectonics. 615 0$aGeodynamics. 676 $a551.1 676 $a551.136 700 $aCox$b Allan$f1926-1987.$01089893 701 $aHart$b Robert Brian$062741 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960885903321 996 $aPlate tectonics$94359552 997 $aUNINA
