Geodynamics of Pakistan"Geodynamics is dominated by plate tectonic models. Plate tectonics promises to provide explanation of global geodynamics including the origin of earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain building... This volume provide a comprehensive view of the geodynamic framework in which the evolution took place..." Preface. |
