Plate Tectonics: Continental Drift and Mountain Building Wolfgang Frisch, Martin Meschede, Ronald C. Blakey
Publisher:

Why are there old and young mountains? How do the plates show us proof of continental drift? Plate tectonics works hand in hand with several other striking concepts and discoveries, including continental drift and the many changes in Earth's magnetic field that have taken place over its history.

Blakey, "Plate Tectonics: Continental Drift and Mountain Building" Sp--er | 2010 | ISBN: 3540765034 | 180 pages | PDF | 116 MB How are mou. No wonder, then, that this idea, developed in the 1960s but Tectonism is the deformation of the lithosphere, and the term tectonics refers to the study of this deformation, including its causes and effects, most notably mountain building. Plate tectonics, the geologic process responsible for creating the Earth's continents, mountain ranges, and ocean basins, may be an on-again, off-again affair. This theory has now offered explanation for many of the complex geological processes such asvolcanic activity, earthquakes, mountain building and continental drift. What happens to the Earth's surface through the process of plate tectonics? Scientists have successfully used it to explain many geological events, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as well as mountain building and the formation of the oceans and continents.
