Tectonics(1st Edition) by EldridgeM. Moores, Robert J. Twiss Hardcover, 415 Pages, Published 2014 by Waveland Press, Inc. ISBN-13: 978-1-4786-2199-7, ISBN: 1-4786-2199-0
"Deformation of the Earth's crust happens at a multitude of scales, ranging from submicroscopic to planetary. Tectonics explores structures and processes from regional to global, differentiating itself from the material covered in most structural geology textbooks. Moores and Twiss emphasize basic principles and methodologies of tectonics, embracing the time-honored perspective of using present processes to understand the past. Comprehen ..."
Shaping the Earth Tectonics of Continents and Oceans : Readings from Scientific American Magazine by EldridgeMoores, Edward M. Moores Paperback, 208 Pages, Published 1990 by W H Freeman & Co (Sd) ISBN-13: 978-0-7167-2141-3, ISBN: 0-7167-2141-4
"This collection of 12 articles from "Scientific American" provides an introduction to the theory of plate tectonics and our current understanding of how mountains, oceans, and continents are formed."
"The most direct evidence for plate tectonic processes and seafloor spreading
comes from the oceanic crust, where divergent motion at mid-ocean ridges adds
new material to lithospheric plates. ... the large-scale tectonic significance of
deformation in the continental crust so that we can see further back into the
history of Earth's dynamic activity. ... rocks tend to be concentrated in long, linear
belts comparable to the belts of ..."

"Describes the causes, characteristics, and effects of volcanoes and earthquakes and examines how they can be measured and predicted. This book is part of the Nature Company Discoveries library, a dynamic new reference series for children."
"When first published, "Structural Geology" broke new ground by offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated survey of the evolution of the earth s outer layers, presented within the unifying context of structural and plate tectonics. Now this highly regarded text returns, in thoroughly updated new edition designed to show students how geologists interpret deformations in the earth s crust as clues to the processes that are continually r ..."
"Contains 22 chapters addressing important topics of Cordilleran geology and its development, concentrating on California. Chapters are grouped into six thematic thematic groups including an introduction, historical issues, plate tectonics, water and oil resources, the desert, and the modern landscape. Most entries include a classic article, an explanation of why the article is classic, a biographical sketch and contemporary picture of t ..."
"Eldridge M. Moores. Introduction. Very large masses of ultramafic rock are
associated with many mountain systems. Although many tectonic theories are
based upon interpretations of their occurrences, their actual mode of origin,
hence their tectonic significance, has long been a subject of controversy. One
problem is the general lack of adequate field and petrographic descriptions of “
typical Alpine-type” ultramafic rock, if such ex ..."
"Explains the theory of continental drift, describes how this movement causes earthquakes and volcanoes, and discusses famous eruptions and earthquakes of the past."
