Since the 1960s, the general theory of plate tectonics has provided
a clear link between the geological processes of seafloor
spreading, subduction and mountain building. But details are still
unclear and the nature of the theory may depend upon the recent
interpretation of "suspect terranes", areas of apparently unrelated
geology comprising single orogenic belts. This books introduces the
reader to the concept of suspect terranes, how they relate to
classic plate tectonics theory and what they represent in terms of
tectonic processes. The book is amed at research and academic
structural geologist, and student in the earth sciences.
