The continental margins of the world constitute the most impressive
and largest physiographic feature of the earth's surface, and one
of fundamentally great geological significance. Continental margins
have been the subject of increasing attention in recent years, an
interest focused by a body of new data that has provided new
insights into their character. This interest was further stimulated
by the realization that, in addition to the abundant living
resources, continental margins contain petroleum and mineral
resources that are accessible with existing technology. This
realization, along with their basic geological importance, has
provoked further research into the nature of continental margins
throughout the world. A summary of these findings, as related to
both recent and ancient continental margins, is the subject of this
book. At various times in the past we had been approached
individually to prepare a basic reference to continental margins;
we then proposed to do such a volume jointly. However, the stimulus
for the present volume eventually arose from a Penrose Conference
arranged through the Geological Society of America. This conference
was attended by specialists of numerous disciplines and from
throughout the world, many of whom insisted that such a volume
would be both timely and useful. Consequently, we agreed to
undertake the task of assembling this book, with the objectives of
making it available as soon and as inexpensively as possible.
