The deep oceans and global seafloor are truly Earth's last
frontier: largely unexplored, yet critical to our survival on this
planet. This magnificent, full-color volume provides a unique,
fascinating view of Earth's seafloor and underlying oceanic crust,
beginning with a historical summary of seafloor exploration and its
developing technologies. Later chapters discuss the major
geological components of Earth's crust and the myriad environments
along the global mid-ocean ridges, including active volcanoes, rift
zones and hydrothermal vents - Earth's most extreme environments.
The authors present simple explanations of how the various
geological and hydrothermal features of the seafloor are formed
through physical, chemical and biological processes, and also
describe the life they host. Supported by online visual and
teaching resources, including video clips and images, this book
forms an indispensable reference for researchers, teachers and
students of marine geoscience, and a visually stunning resource
which all oceanographers and enthusiasts will want on their
bookshelves.
