Beskrivning

A synthesis of current knowledge on global extensional tectonicsThe extension of Earth’s lithosphere occurs at divergent plate boundaries as well as in plate interiors. The geological, geochemical, and sedimentary processes of extension offer insights into topics ranging from the fundamentals of tectonics to the evolution of life.Extensional Tectonics: Rifting and Continental Extension reviews present-day knowledge of extensional tectonic processes and explores examples from around the world.Volume highlights include: Overview of extensional tectonic processes from continental rifting to oceanic basin formationIn-depth examination of extension along rift systems and rift marginsReview of post-collisional continental extensionExamples from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the AmericasInsights from observations, modeling, and 3D seismic data interpretation of extended terrainsThis book is one of a set of three in the collection Tectonic Processes: A Global View.Browse the first volume, Compressional Tectonics: Plate Convergence to Mountain Building.The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
