The birth of mountains, the opening and closing of oceans, continental drift, major faults, earthquakes and tsunamis, volcanic eruptions... the Earth is shaken by numerous dynamic phenomena reflecting movements at depth and on the surface. Exploring the whys and wherefores of these phenomena means discovering the geography of the planet, the waltz of the continents and the challenges of territory.
Today, plate tectonics is an established scientific model that encompasses all these phenomena in a global dynamic scheme, describing and interpreting the tremors that shake the planet. A real key to understanding the world, this easy-to-use guide, packed with examples, diagrams and photographs, will help you discover our living, moving Earth.
