Around thirty years ago, two things happened that were to revolutionize the
understanding of our home planet. First, geologists realized that the continents
themselves were drifting across the surface of the globe and that oceans were
being created and destroyed. Secondly, pictures of the entire planet were
returned from space. Suddenly, the Earth began to be viewed as a single entity;
a dynamic, interacting whole, controlled by complex processes we scarcely
understood.
This Introduction explores emerging geological research and explains how new
advances in the understanding of plate tectonics, seismology, and satellite
imagery have enabled us to begin to see the Earth as it actually is: dynamic and
ever changing.
