Plate Tectonics - Continental Drift and Mountain Building (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2011): Wolfgang... Plate Tectonics - Continental Drift and Mountain Building (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2011)

How are mountains formed? Why are there old and young mountains? Why do the shapes of South America and Africa fit so well together? Why is the Pacific surrounded by a ring of volcanoes and earthquake prone areas while the edges of the Atlantic are relatively peaceful? Frisch and Meschede and Blakey answer all these questions and more through the presentation and explanation of the geo-dynamic processes upon which the theory of continental drift is based and which have lead to the concept of plate tectonics.

This Encyclopedia comprises the current knowledge in marine geosciences whereby not only basic but also applied and technical sciences are covered. Through this concept a broad scale of users in the field of marine sciences and techniques is addressed, from students and scholars in academia to engineers and decision makers in industry and politics. Globally growing demand of energy and mineral resources, reliable future projection of climate processes and the protection of coasts to mitigate the threats of disasters and hazards require a comprehensive understanding of the structure, ongoing processes and genesis of the marine geosphere. Beyond the "classical" research fields in marine geology in current time more general concepts have been evolved integrating marine geophysics, hydrography, marine biology, climatology and ecology. As an umbrella the term "marine geosciences" has been broadly accepted for this new complex field of research and the solutions of practical tasks in the marine realm.

This textbook explains how mountains are formed and why there are old and young mountains. It provides a reconstruction of the Earths paleogeography and shows why the shapes of South America and Africa fit so well together. Furthermore, it explains why the Pacific is surrounded by a ring of volcanos and earthquake-prone areas while the edges of the Atlantic are relatively peaceful. This thoroughly revised textbook edition addresses all these questions and more through the presentation and explanation of the geodynamic processes upon which the theory of continental drift is based and which have led to the concept of plate tectonics. It is a source of information for students of geology, geophysics, geography, geosciences in general, general natural sciences, as well as professionals, and interested layman.

Von Aa-Lava bis ZylinderfalteUEber 5000 Begriffe aus der Geologie und ihren Nachbarwissenschaften stellt das Geologische Woerterbuch anhand kurzer Erlauterungen und einer Vielzahl von erklarenden Abbildungen vor. Das Buch wendet sich sowohl an Fachleute als auch an die Liebhaber der Geowissenschaften. Es will zum Verstehen geowissenschaftlicher Texte beitragen und ist zugleich ein wichtiger Studienbegleiter fur angehende Geowissenschaftler. Die 13. Auflage wurde vollstandig uberarbeitet und neugestaltet. Die Begriffe wurden konsequent im Sinne der aktuell gultigen Theorie der Plattentektonik erlautert, wobei alte, uberkommene Begriffe (wie z. B. Geosynklinale) nicht herausgenommen, sondern mit entsprechenden Erklarungen versehen und als heute nicht mehr verwendet gekennzeichnet wurden. Neu hinzugekommen ist die englische UEbersetzung fur jeden einzelnen Fachbegriff als Hilfestellung zum Verfassen geowissenschaftlicher Texte in englischer Sprache. Samtliche Abbildungen sind in der neuen Ausgabe farbig angelegt. Sie wurden z. T. aus der vorherigen Auflage in uberarbeiteter Form ubernommen, zum groessten Teil aber ganz neu erstellt.
