J (Professor Emeritus, Department of Physics, University of Helsinki, Finland) / Salminen, Johanna (Adjunct Professor, Department of Geosciences and Geography, University of Helsinki, Finland and Director of Geophysical Laborator Publisher: Elsevier USA ISBN: 9780128185339 Cover: PAPERBACK Date: 2021年10月 DESCRIPTION Ancient Supercontinents and the Paleogeography of Earth offers a systematic examination of Precambrian cratons and supercontinents. Through detailed maps of drift histories and paleogeography of each continent, this book examines topics related to Earth’s tectonic evolution prior to Pangea, including plate kinematics, orogenic development, and paleoenvironments. Additionally, this book discusses the methodologies used, principally paleomagnetism and tectonostratigraphy, and addresses geophysical topics of mantle dynamics and geodynamo evolution over billions of years. Structured clearly with consistent coverage for Precambrian cratons, this book combines state-of-the-art paleomagnetic and geochronologic data to reconstruct the paleogeography of the Earth in the context of major climatic events such as global glaciations. It is an ideal, up-to-date reference for geoscientists and geographers looking for answers to questions surrounding the tectonic evolution of Earth. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.
