Description
The NE Pacific Ocean is considered the birthplace of many fundamental ideas for modern plate tectonics theory.
In this book the orogenic belts of this region are discussed in a single, internally consistent tectonic concept.
Geological information is considered the most reliable.
Geophysical models are tested for compatibility with observable geological data.
The new concept avoids force-fitting interpretations to preconceived assumptions regarding accreted far-traveled terranes in the Cordillera and continental-oceanic plate interactions in the entire region.
