Fowler, C. M. R.
The solid earth : an introduction to global geophysics / C.M.R. Fowler. - Second edition - xviii, 685 pages : illustrations (some colour), maps (some colour) ; 25 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Tectonics on a sphere: the geometry of plate tectonics -- Past plate motions -- Seismology: measuring the interior -- Gravity -- Geochronology -- Heat -- The deep interior of the Earth -- The oceanic lithosphere: ridges, transforms, trenches and oceanic islands -- The continental lithosphere - A1. Scalars, vector and differential operators -- A2. Theory of elasticity and elastic waves -- A3. Geometry of ray paths and inversion of earthquakes body wave time-distance curves -- A4. The least-squares method -- A5. The error function -- A6. Units and symbols -- A7. Numerical data -- A8. IASP91 Earth model -- A9. Preliminary reference Earth model isotropic version - PREM
The second edition of this acclaimed textbook has been brought fully up-to-date to reflect the latest advances in geophysical research. It is designed for students in introductory geophysics courses who have a general background in the physical sciences, including introductory calculus.
