商品描述

This textbook explains how mountains are formed and why there are old and young mountains. It provides a reconstruction of the Earths paleogeography and shows why the shapes of South America and Africa fit so well together. Furthermore, it explains why the Pacific is surrounded by a ring of volcanos and earthquake-prone areas while the edges of the Atlantic are relatively peaceful.

This thoroughly revised textbook edition addresses all these questions and more through the presentation and explanation of the geodynamic processes upon which the theory of continental drift is based and which have led to the concept of plate tectonics.

It is a source of information for students of geology, geophysics, geography, geosciences in general, general natural sciences, as well as professionals, and interested layman.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書解釋了山脈是如何形成的，以及為什麼會有古老的山脈和年輕的山脈。它提供了地球古地理的重建，並展示了南美洲和非洲的形狀為何如此契合。此外，它還解釋了為什麼太平洋被火山和地震頻繁的區域環繞，而大西洋的邊緣則相對平靜。

這本經過徹底修訂的教科書版本針對所有這些問題及更多內容，通過展示和解釋地球動力學過程來解答，這些過程是大陸漂移理論的基礎，並導致了板塊構造的概念。

這本書是地質學、地球物理學、地理學、地球科學以及一般自然科學的學生、專業人士和有興趣的外行人士的重要資訊來源。

作者簡介

Wolfgang Frisch was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1943. He studied in Vienna and worked at the Mining University of Leoben (Austria), the University of Vienna, and the Technical University of Munich (Germany), before he was appointed to Tübingen (Germany) University where he held the Chair in Geology until his retirement in 2009. His research interests include structural geology and geodynamics, the genesis of mineral deposits, and the petrology of magmatic rocks. His working areas include the Alps, southeastern Europe, the Himalayas and Tibet, Arabia and Egypt, as well as Greenland, middle America, and Africa.

Martin Meschede, born in 1957 is Professor of Regional and Structural Geology at the University Greifswald, Germany. He received his Diploma in Geology from the University Hannover, Germany, and his Ph.D. from the University of Tübingen (Germany). His research interests include geodynamics, structural geology, paleogeography reconstructions, particularly in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific region; marine geology as well as neotectonic and glacial processes in the Baltic Sea area.

Roland Blakey is Professor Emeritus of Geology at Northern Arizona University (US) following over 34 years of teaching courses in Historical Geology, Sedimentology and Stratigraphy, Field Geology, and Tectonics. Most of his scholarly publications concern the sedimentary rocks and geologic history of the American Southwest. He is involved in the reconstruction of paleogeography maps that document past Earth history.

沃爾夫岡·弗里希（Wolfgang Frisch）於1943年出生於奧地利維也納。他在維也納學習，並曾在奧地利的萊奧本礦業大學、維也納大學以及德國慕尼黑工業大學工作，之後被任命為德國圖賓根大學的地質學講座教授，直到2009年退休。他的研究興趣包括構造地質學和地球動力學、礦產沉積的成因以及火成岩的岩石學。他的工作範圍包括阿爾卑斯山、東南歐、喜馬拉雅山和西藏、阿拉伯及埃及，以及格林蘭、中美洲和非洲。

馬丁·梅謝德（Martin Meschede）於1957年出生，是德國格賴夫斯瓦爾德大學的區域與構造地質學教授。他在德國漢諾威大學獲得地質學文憑，並在德國圖賓根大學獲得博士學位。他的研究興趣包括地球動力學、構造地質學、古地理重建，特別是在加勒比海和東太平洋地區；海洋地質學以及波羅的海地區的新構造和冰川過程。

羅蘭·布雷基（Roland Blakey）是美國北亞利桑那大學的地質學名譽教授，擁有超過34年的教學經驗，教授歷史地質學、沉積學和地層學、野外地質學及構造學。他的大多數學術出版物涉及美國西南部的沉積岩和地質歷史。他參與重建古地理圖，記錄過去的地球歷史。
