A.D. (Professor, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Yale <br>University, New Haven, CT, United State) / Veikkolainen, Toni (Geophysicist, Institute of Seismology, University of Helsinki, Finland) Ancient Supercontinents and the Paleogeography of Earth offers a systematic examination of Precambrian cratons and supercontinents. Through detailed maps of drift histories and paleogeography of each continent, this book examines topics related to Earth's tectonic evolution prior to Pangea, including plate kinematics, orogenic development, and paleoenvironments. Additionally, this book discusses the methodologies used, principally paleomagneti...
