Foundations of Plate Tectonics

"Foundations of Plate Tectonics" takes readers on a journey through the foundational concept of plate tectonics in Earth science. We begin by explaining the theory's history, from early ideas to modern understanding. The book then dives into core concepts: plates, their boundaries, the forces that move them, and the role of the mantle.

Readers will learn about geological processes driven by plate tectonics, including earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, and the formation of continents and oceans. We also explore environmental impacts, such as natural disasters and long-term effects on climate and life.

The societal relevance of plate tectonics is a key theme, examining how plate movements influence resource distribution, cultural development, and planning for a sustainable future.

"Foundations of Plate Tectonics" is written for a broad audience, from beginners to advanced researchers. With clear explanations, vivid illustrations, and real-world examples, it provides a comprehensive and engaging exploration of this fascinating science.
