Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2018. 1 online resource text txt rdacontent still image sti rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed April 5, 2018). A witty, irreverent guide to the birth, development, and state-of-the-art of one of the most important theories in Earth Science. The book explains how modern plate tectonics accounts for phenomena such as great earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and how it controls conditions at the Earth's surface, including global geography and climate.
