Dynamic earth – the story of Plate Tectonics
File : 3.82 MB, 77 pages
In the early 1960s, the emergence of the theory of plate tectonics started a revolution in the earth sciences. Since then, scientists have verified and refined this theory, and now have a much better understanding of how our planet has been shaped by plate-tectonic processes. We now know that, directly [...]
