A synthesis of current knowledge on global extensional tectonics
The 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:
This book is one of a set of three in the collection Tectonic Processes: A Global View.
