Description

The Earth's Crust and Mantle presents the deformations of the Earth's crust, which are attributed to mantle currents.

This book explores the gravity observations, which give indications about the way in which the masses in the Earth are distributed. Comprised of five chapters, this book starts with an overview of the constitution of the various parts of the Earth and mentions the densities concerned.

This text then discusses the thermal behavior of the Earth as well as examines the principle of isostasy and the readjustments of isostatic equilibrium.

Other chapters examine the general effects of horizontal compression of the rigid crust and the fields of positive gravity anomalies.

This book discusses as well the effects of active volcanicity, which is one source of disturbances of equilibrium of the Earth.

The final chapter deals with the oceanic parts of the crust. This book is a valuable resource for geologists, geophysicists, physical geographers, and physical geodesists.
