Dynamic Earth Plates, Plumes and Mantle Convection By: Geoffrey F. Davies Publisher: Cambridge University Press Print ISBN: 9780521599337, 0521599334 eText ISBN: 9780511836084, 0511836082 Edition: 1st Format: PDF Available from $ 96.00 USD SKU: 9780511836084 Dynamic Earth presents the principles of convection in the earth's mantle in an accessible style. Mantle convection is the process underlying plate tectonics, volcanic hotspots and, hence, most geological processes. The book summarises key observations and presents the relevant physics starting from basic principles. The main concepts and arguments are presented with minimal mathematics, although more mathematical versions of important aspects are included for those who desire them. The book also surveys geochemical constraints and mantle evolution. The audience for Geoff Davies' book will be the broad range of geologists who desire a better understanding of the earth's internal dynamics, as well as graduate students and researchers working on the many aspects of mantle dynamics and its implications for geological processes. It is also suitable as a text or supplementary text for upper undergraduate and postgraduate courses in geophysics, geochemistry, and tectonics.
