Transform Plate Boundaries and Fracture Zones bridges the gap between the classic plate tectonic theory and new emerging ideas, offering an assessment of the state-of-the-art, pending questions, and future directions in the study of transform plate boundaries and fracture zones. The book includes a number of case studies and reviews on both oceanic and continental tectonic settings.
Transform Plate Boundaries and Fracture Zones
is a timely reference for a variety of researchers, including geophysicists, seismologists, structural geologists and tectonicists, as well as specialists in exploration geophysics and natural hazards. This book can also be used as an up-to-date reference at universities in both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.- Reviews ideas and concepts about transform plate boundaries and fracture zones
- Includes a variety of case studies on both oceanic and continental settings
- Addresses innovative and provocative ideas about the activity of fracture zones and transform faults and their impacts to the human society
