Full title :Middle American terranes, potential correlatives, and orogenic processes / edited by J. Duncan Keppie [and others].

Summary

"Consisting of papers that have appeared recently in International Geology Review, Middle American Terranes, Potential Correlatives, and Orogenic Processes focuses on Middle American terranes in which tectonic processes, including flat-slab subduction, for otogenic development are examined at various times since the late Mesoproterozoic: at 1 Ga, through the Paleozoic, and into the Cenozoic. Many papers relate the evolution of the Middle American terranes over the past billion years to global scale events, and a second theme running through the book relates to the supercontinents, Rodinia and Pangea, the geometry of their amalgamation and breakup, and the processes responsible." "The combination of respected contributors, expert editorial guidance, and coverage of current and emerging theories makes this book an essential resource for understanding the evolution of the terranes constituting Middle America."--Jacket.
