This is the first undergraduate textbook to fully integrate results
from geophysics, geochemistry, and petrology to describe the
structure, composition, and dynamic processes that operate
throughout the solid Earth. It presents an Earth system science
approach to studies of the Earth's interior and develops a global
view of solid Earth cycles to explain geodynamic and plate tectonic
processes. This book initially explores the formation and evolution
of the early Earth, then considers the operative forces for plate
tectonic movements at the Earth's surface, and finally discusses
global cycles within the deep Earth and their effect on the surface
environment. Interactions between the geosphere, hydrosphere, and
atmosphere, and their influence at and beneath the Earth's surface
are examined in detail. This textbook thus provides a concise yet
extensive coverage of the solid Earth. Written for intermediate
undergraduates, it includes a wealth of features to support student
learning at this level.
