Description
Crust and Lithosphere Dynamics brings together the results of studies that are fundamental to our understanding of crust and lithosphere
dynamics. It begins with a discussion of plate kinematics and mechanics. Then it considers the evidence from surface heat flow, stress
measurements, and magmatism for the thermal and mechanical structure of the lithosphere. Finally, consideration is given to the structural
styles of faulting, the deformation of the crust and lithosphere in extensional (e.g. rifting) and compressional (e.g. mountain building)
regions, and the implications of plate mechanics for sedimentary basin evolution.
