Initially, most scientists believed that Earth was a static planet that never really changed. Then, a small group of pioneering individuals slowly pieced together a different picture, showing that over millions of years, continents collided, oceans opened and closed, and mountains rose and fell--and these changes continue today. Plate Tectonics examines the evolution of plate tectonic theory from its beginnings as a wild idea of drifting continents to its acceptance as the main concept of geology. |
