An undergraduate/junior level text providing up-to-date, balanced coverage of the basic geology of the marine environment. Starting with the formation of the oceans using plate tectonics, the book continues with discussions of the mid-ocean ridges, and concludes with coverage of the formation/deformation of the continents. Handsomely illustrated, including many four-color plates showing the more dramatic subterranean features.
