Informazioni su questo ebook

""Seafloor Spreading"" explores the dynamic process of how new ocean floor is created, offering profound insights into plate tectonics, Earth’s structure, and the forces behind continental drift. This process, occurring at mid-ocean ridges, significantly influences geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanism. One intriguing fact is the discovery of magnetic anomalies on the ocean floor, which provided compelling evidence for the theory. Another is how radiometric dating confirms the age of oceanic crust increases with distance from these ridges.

The book examines the historical development of the theory, the mechanics of mantle convection, and the relationship between seafloor spreading and other geological events. It systematically progresses through different types of evidence such as magnetic anomalies and radiometric dating. Later chapters discuss the driving forces behind plate tectonics, the implications for Earth's history, and current research directions. This comprehensive approach makes it invaluable for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Earth sciences and the ongoing evolution of our planet.
