About the Book
To this day, there is a great amount of controversy about where, when and how the so-called supercontinents--Pangea, Godwana, Rodinia, and Columbia--were made and broken. Continents and Supercontinents frames that controversy by giving all the necessary background on how continental crust is formed, modified, and destroyed, and what forces move plates. It also discusses how these processes affect the composition of seawater, climate, and the evol…

Customer Reviews
so was disappointed when I was at the end
The author isn't a writer, but certainly is a scientist. I was fascinated by what we know and how we know it, so was disappointed when I was at the end.
Continents and Supercontients
Se trata de una excelente información sobre el estado de la cuestion en el momento de la publación (2004), perfectamente valida aún y con un buen nivel científico, realizada por dos reconocidos especialista en el tema. Es fácil de leer, bien ilustrado. Muy recomendable para estudiantes y profesionales que, sin recurrir a numerosas revistas especializadas, con la facilidad de un libro necesiten una información de buen nivel científico.
continents & incontinents
i started out looking through old nova telecasts, science channels, etc. & could not find what i wanted: a telecast that showed early supercontinents, how they broke up, how they reassembled & explained why they behaved as they did. i can't believe that telecast doesn't exist, but as far as i know it doesn't. this book was the next best thing: lots of illustrations showing what i wanted to see--albeit in the form of line drawings--& detailed explanations as to why all this assembling & disassembling took place. a wonderful geology lesson. why i gave 4 stars & not 5 is the absence of a glossary of special terms--craton is not in my webster's--& the failure to explain what their time scales mean. a chart showing their time scales in relation to biological eras would have been a great help too. i guess they didn't expect lay people like me to buy their book.
