Introducing Tectonics, Rock Structures, and Mountain Belts is a book that explains key concepts of tectonics and rock structures to students and non-specialists without a strong mathematical background. It uses plate tectonic theory to provide context for understanding rock structures, as large-scale movements of plates control smaller-scale structures. The book emphasizes the integration of rock structures with plate tectonics and the study of mountain ranges and orogenic belts. Technical terms are included in a glossary, and the text is illustrated profusely.
