Investigating Plate Tectonics

Meer over het boek

Exploring Earth's geological structure, the book delves into the layers beneath the crust, including the mantle and core. It highlights Alfred Wegener's groundbreaking 1915 theory that a single landmass existed 200 million years ago, which was fragmented by molten magma pushing the crust apart. Wegener's contributions laid the foundation for the study of plate tectonics, reshaping our understanding of continental formation and movement.
