Tectonic Plates are Moving!

A witty, irreverent guide to the birth, development, and state-of-the-art of one of the most important theories in Earth Science. The book explains how modern plate tectonics accounts for phenomena such as great earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and how it controls conditions at the Earth's surface, including global geography and climate.

Un ghid intelept, ireverentiu, pentru nasterea, dezvoltarea si stadiul tehnicii uneia dintre cele mai importante teorii din Stiinta Pamantului. Cartea explica modul in care tectonica moderna a placilor explica fenomene precum cutremure mari, tsunami, eruptii vulcanice si cum controleaza conditiile de la suprafata Pamantului, inclusiv geografia globala si clima.
