With an underlying universal theme of convection, a new textbook introduces upper-level geology, geophysics, physics, and engineering students to the geophysics behind the Earth System.

These plates move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate boundaries: convergent, or collisional boundaries; divergent boundaries, also called spreading centers; and transform ...

In this type of fault, the block of rock above the fault plane, known as the hanging wall, moves downward relative to the block below, called the footwall. Normal faults are typically found at ...
