ISBN: 9781984608888 出版年：2018 页码：240 Jaspreet Banga Bibliotex

Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motion of earth’s lithosphere. Current plate boundaries are defined by their seismicity. Past plate boundaries within existing plates are identified from a variety of evidence, such as the presence of ophiolites that are indicative of vanished oceans. This book focuses on the potential risk of global natural hazards, prediction of natural disasters and mitigation of its impact.
