| Summary: | "In Tectonic Faults, scientists from a variety of disciplines explore the connections between faulting and the processes of the Earth's atmosphere, surface, and interior. They consider faults and faulting from many different vantage points - including those of surface analysts, geochemists, material scientists, and physicists - and in all scales, from seismic fault slip to moving tectonic plates. They address basic issues, including the imaging of faults from the Earth's surface to the base of the lithosphere and deeper, the structure and rheology of fault rocks, and the role of fluids and melt on the physical properties of deforming rock."--BOOK JACKET. |
