What is Crust and Lithosphere Dynamics: Treatise on Geophysics about?

<p>Crust and Lithosphere Dynamics brings together the results of studies that are fundamental to our understanding of crust and lithosphere dynamics. It begins with a discussion of plate kinematics and mechanics. Then it considers the evidence from surface heat flow, stress measurements, and magmatism for the thermal and mechanical structure of the lithosphere. Finally, consideration is given to the structural styles of faulting, the deformation of the crust and lithosphere in extensional (e.g. rifting) and compressional (e.g. mountain building) regions, and the implications of plate mechanics for sedimentary basin evolution.</p><br><br><li>Self-contained volume starts with an overview of the subject then explores each topic with in depth detail</li><li>Extensive reference lists and cross references with other volumes to facilitate further research</li><li>Full-color figures and tables support the text and aid in understanding</li><li>Content suited for both the expert and non-expert</li>
