Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In controlling continental break-up, extensional tectonics is one of the most fundamental processes that shape the face of our planet. Extension and break-up is key to understanding the evolution of continents, and the origin of sedimentary basins and their hydrocarbon potential, as well as the thermo-haline circulation in the oceans and, thus, global climate.

Book excerpt: Developments in Geotectonics, 10: The Expanding Earth focuses on the principles, methodologies, transformations, and approaches involved in the expanding earth concept. The book first elaborates on the development of the expanding earth concept, necessity for expansion, and the subduction myth. Discussions focus on higher velocity under Benioff zone, seismic attenuation, blue schists and paired metamorphic belts, dispersion of polygons, arctic paradox, and kinematic contrast. The manuscript then ponders on the scale of tectonic phenomena, non-uniformitarianism, tectonic profiles, and paleomagnetism. Concerns cover global paleomagnetism, general summary of the tectonic profile, implosions, fluid pressures, pure shear, crustal extension, simple shear with horizontal axis, geological examples of scale fields, and length-time fields of deformation. The publication explores the cause of expansion, modes of crustal extension, and rotation and asymmetry of the earth, including dynamic asymmetry, precessions, nutations, librations, and wobbles at fixed obliquity, variation of rate of rotation, and categories of submarine ridges. The text is a dependable source of data for researchers wanting to study the concept of expanding earth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Across the Continent: Disturnell's Distance Tables, or Travellers' Pocket Companion, Giving the Great Lines of Travel Across the Continent The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Pennsylvania Central Railroad, Erie Railway of New York, the Boston and Albany, and New York Central Railroads, and the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, and their connections, form the first great links in this Continental Line of Travel, extending from the Atlantic to chicago, st. Louis and omaha, and from thence, crossing the Rocky Mountains, to the Pacific Ocean. The recent completion of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, extending Westward to denver, Colorado, forms another great Through Route of Travel. From the principal Seaports on both Oceans, Lines of Steamers run to Europe on the East, and Asia on the West, thus encircling the World as with a band of iron - carrying civilization and commerce to every part of the inhabitable globe. These modes of communication, in connection with Ocean Lines of Telegraph, form the most important era in the World's history, and will, no doubt, tend to civilize and benefit the Whole human family.
