504 Includes bibliographical references and index.
505 0 Major features of the Earth and plate tectonics -- Driving
mechanisms for plates, slab retreat and advance, and a
cause of orogenesis -- Physical and chemical principles :
rock deformation, isostasy, geochronology and heat
production in the lithosphere -- Large-scale features of
orogens : thrusts and folds -- Evolution of orogens --
Lateral spreading of orogens : foreland propagation,
channel flow and weak zones in the crust -- Metamorphism
in orogeny -- The erosion and exhumation of mountains --
Sedimentary history of the foredeep basins -- Deep
structure, mountain support and phase changes -- Mountains
and climate -- Secular change in orogeney.
520 Orogenesis, the process of mountain building, occurs when
two tectonic plates collide - either forcing material
upwards to form mountain belts such as the Alps or
Himalayas or causing one plate to be subducted below the
other, resulting in volcanic mountain chains such as the
Andes. Integrating the approaches of structural geology
and metamorphism, this book provides an up-to-date
overview of orogenic research and an introduction to the
physico-chemical properties of mountain belts. Global
examples are explored, the interactioning roles of
temperature and deformation in the orogenic process are
reviewed, and important new concepts such as channel flow
are explained. This book provides a valuable introduction
to this fast-moving field for advanced undergraduate and
graduate students of structural geology, plate tectonics
and geodynamics, and will also provide a vital overview of
research for academics and researchers working in related
fields including petrology geochemistry and sedimentology.
