Using full-colour palaeogeographical maps from the Cambrian to the
present, this interdisciplinary volume explains how plate motions
and surface volcanism are linked to processes in the Earth's
mantle, and to climate change and the evolution of the Earth's
biota. These new and very detailed maps provide a complete and
integrated Phanerozoic story of palaeogeography. They illustrate
the development of all the major mountain-building orogenies. Old
lands, seas, ice caps, volcanic regions, reefs, and coal beds are
highlighted on the maps, as well as faunal and floral provinces.
Many other original diagrams show sections from the Earth's core,
through the mantle, and up to the lithosphere, and how Large
Igneous Provinces are generated, helping to understand how plates
have appeared, moved, and vanished through time. Supplementary
resources are available online, making this an invaluable reference
for researchers, graduate students, professional geoscientists and
anyone interested in the geological history of the Earth.
