Quantitative plate tectonics : physics of the earth - plate kinematics - geodynamics
This textbook on plate tectonics is designed for students in geology and geophysics to acquire in depth knoeledge of quantitative methods in plate kinematics and dynamics. quantitative Plate Tectonics can also be used as a reference book by geoscientists who desire to expand their knowledge beyond their own specialization, or by oil and gas profesionals and are deposit specialists that need to investigate the geodynamic context of formation of geologic resources. Finally, this book can be considered as a comphrehensive monograph on plate tectonics, which addressess the different quantitative aspects aspects of this broad discipline, which has been traditionally partitioned into separate branches. Additional material available at http://extras.springer.com, includes two computer programs for the analysis of the analysis of marine magnetic anomalies and for plate kinematic modelling, as well as some important geophysical data sets and modls. Solutions to the exercises are also includes. - A unified quantitative description of plate tectonics, combining geological and geophysical perspectives. - Peofesional software, manual verification examples and applications are available as additionsl material. - Includes detailed calculations examples and problem sets per chapter. - well illustrated.
