{"product_id":"9783540608424","title":"Continental-Crust Structures on the Continental Margin of Western North America (Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe NE Pacific Ocean is considered the birthplace of many fundamental ideas for modern plate tectonics theory. In this book the orogenic belts of this region are discussed in a single, internally consistent tectonic concept. Geological information is considered the most reliable. Geophysical models are tested for compatibility with observable geological data. The new concept avoids force-fitting interpretations to preconceived assumptions regarding accreted far-traveled terranes in the Cordillera and continental-oceanic plate interactions in the entire region. Outstanding issues in studies of continental margins.- Evaluation of the data base.- Pre-cenozoic geologic framework of western Cordillera.- Tertiary stratigraphic framework of coastal provinces in Washington and British Columbia.- Significance of the trans-cordilleran olympic-wallowa zone in geologic evolution of the Washington and British Columbia coastal regions.- Continental marging off Southeastern Alaska, the Queen Charlotte Islands, and Northern Vancouver Island.- Crustal blocks under Vancouver Island and the exterior shelf.- Structure of continental slope off Vancouver Island.- Interlocking of continental and oceanic crustal blocks along the continental margin and non-rigid behavior of Northern Juan de Fuca Plate.- Concluding remarks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52354789212471,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":297.93,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9783540608424","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
