Dynamics of Plate Tectonics and Mantle Convection gathers state-of-the-art and complementary views on plate tectonics in a single volume, going beyond the geometric and kinematic description of plate tectonics and providing tentative quantification (and discussion) of the forces driving and resisting plate motion and mantle convection and their energetic balance. Plate tectonics is the unifying theory of solid Earth sciences. Sections in the book describe how the surface of our planet is fragmented in several rigid lithospheric plates that move in relation to each other over the less viscous asthenospheric mantle. Numerous fundamental geological processes that occur along plate boundary zones are discussed, including seismicity, volcanism, orogenic processes, development of basins and the formation of natural resources. Provides diverse perspectives from different experts around the world in plate tectonics and geodynamics Includes the most up-to-date knowledge on plate tectonics and mantle convection Sets the scene for the developments and challenges likely to be faced by researchers in the future of geodynamics
