Opis

Introduction to Global Plate Tectonics II is the second part of a five part series covering plate tectonics theory, paleogeography, and the drifting of continents around the globe. The series is designed as a set of pictorial guide books containing a set of images previously published by plate tectonic researchers. Images were redrawn to add in color details and to highlight key events presented in the text narrative. Text is written for non-technical readers familiar with general geology, but may be applicable to secondary, community college, and first year undergraduate studies in earth sciences. Part II covers the development of the North American continent beginning with the Precambrian Era, ending with the Quaternary Period Ice Ages. Alaska, Greenland, Mexico, and South America geologic histories are included. Part III covers Europe, Russia, and Asia, including Korea. Parts IV includes Iran, Turkey, Arabia, and Africa. Part V covers Australia and Antarctica.
