Geological Structures and Moving Plates

by R.G. Park

This is the first book devoted solely to the interpretation of geological structures in terms of plate tectonics. The author deals firstly with the important properties of the lithosphere and the theoretical background needed to understand plate movements and plate interactions. He then goes on to describe the mechanical properties of plates, and the sources and distribution of stress in the lithosphere.
