Principles of Terrane Analysis: New applications for global tectonics [Paperback]

This book introduces the reader to the principles of terrrane analysis, and describes how accretion tectonics relates to classic plate tectonics theory and what this represents in terms of mountain building and continental growth processes. A forensic-like investigation of continental geology is detailed, integrating many different sub-disciplines of the Earth Sciences. The concepts outlined have a practical bent and help to explain the nature and occurrences of petroleum and metallic mineral deposits.Springer Book ArchivesGPSR ComplianceThe European Union's (EU) General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a set of rules that requires consumer products to be safe and our obligations to ensure this.If you have any concerns about our products you can contact us on ProductSafety@springernature.com.In case Publisher is established outside the EU, the EU authorized representative is:Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbHEuropaplatz 369115 Heidelberg, GermanyProductSafety@springernature.com
