Description for Backarc Basins
Hardback. Offers a comprehensive review of the tectonics and magmatism of backarc basins, covering their initial rift stage to mature spreading. This book covers volcano-tectonics setting; cause and location; rift magmas; and hydrothermal activity. It also presents models of the dynamic processes occurring in backarc basins. Editor(s): Taylor, Brian. Num Pages: 524 pages, 44 black & white illustrations, 3 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: RBG; RBKC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 33. Weight in Grams: 1270.
Experts in the field offer the first comprehensive review of the tectonics and magmatism of backarc basins, covering their initial rift stage to mature spreading. Complete with numerous illustrations, each of the twelve chapters focuses on a young, active backarc basin of the circum-Pacific-where volcano-tectonic processes are best studied because of their activity. Key themes in this volume include volcano-tectonics setting; cause and location; rift magmas; and hydrothermal activity. Researchers also present models of the dynamic processes occurring in backarc basins.
