Plate tectonics provides a remarkably accurate kinematic description of the motion of the
earth's crust but a fully dynamical theory requires an understanding of convection in the …

Earth's deepest earthquakes occur as a population in subducting or previously subducted
lithosphere at depths ranging from about 325 to 690 km. This depth interval closely brackets …

An Introduction to Seismology, Earthquakes and Earth Structures is an introduction to
seismology and its role in the earth sciences, and is written for advanced undergraduate and …

A geometrical model of the surface of the earth is obtained in terms of rigid blocks in relative
motion with respect to each other. With this model a simplified but complete and consistent …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

A comprehensive study of the observations of seismology provides widely based strong
support for the new global tectonics which is founded on the hypotheses of continental drift …

The semi‐isolated basins and series of basins of intermediate to normal oceanic depths that
lie behind island arc systems are termed marginal basins, and are believed to be of …

evidence of any significant change was found during Page 1 | 276 centration of DDT of 40
ppm (range 1-0–11-1 ppm) in samples of human depot fat in England in 1964. No evidence of …

Plate theory has successfully related sea floor spreading to the focal mechanisms of
earthquakes and the deep structure of island arcs. It is used here to calculate the …

Intermediate-period seismograms of shear waves from deep earthquakes are examined for
shear-wave splitting diagnostic of seismic velocity anisotropy in the upper-mantle wedge …
