    Continents and Oceans

    by Michael W. McElhinny, Phillip L. McFadden, Renata Dmowska, James R. Holton, H. Thomas Rossby ...
    Series Book 73 - International Geophysics
    Paleomagnetism is the study of the fossil magnetism in rocks. It has been paramount in determining that the continents have drifted over the surface of the Earth throughout geological time. The fossil magnetism preserved in the ocean floor has demonstrated how continental drift takes place through the process of sea-floor spreading. The methods and techniques used in paleomagnetic studies of ... Read more

  • The Geology and Mapping of Granite Batholiths

    by John Cobbing ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
