The declared aim of this book is to present 'snap-shots' of major tectonic and structural processes at specific times against which changing ideas on geotectonic behaviour may be tested. It has some success in this respect although some readers will question the choice of regions chosen for descript

Vlll
on the nature of the earth's magnetic field, in so far as it may be generated by some sort of magnetohydrodynamic dynamo within the earth's core. There is a similar chunk on the dynamics of aspects of the earth's fluid envelope and rotating stars are briefly mentioned.
The role of rotation on the behaviour of fluid systems arises through the inertial accelerations in a rotating system, producing the so-called Coriolis forces. These forces, or in
