About this book

Contains a brief history of the geologic theories about continental drift, and the observations that ultimately led to the development of the theory of plate tectonics. Helps to demonstrate that the landscape we see at the surface of the Earth is a function of the interactions between internal and external processes. Emphasis on the basic concepts of modern physical geography, and on terminology, history and classification schemes.
