Tectonic faults : agents of change on a dynamic Earth

Tectonic faults : agents of change on a dynamic Earth / edited by Mark R. Handy, Greg Hirth, and Niels Hovius.

Scientists examine tectonic faulting on all scales-from seismic fault slip to the formation of mountain ranges-and discuss its connection to a wide range of global phenomena, including long-term climate change and evolution.
