The Continental Dynamics of the Rocky Mountain (CD-ROM) experiment (1995-2004), from which this book derives, follows in this tradition, motivated by three leading questions: how are continents initially formed and stabilized; how do old lithospheric structures and boundaries influence younger tectonic events; and how did processes related to the plate boundary affect the evolution of the Cenozoic Rocky Mountains? To successfully answer such questions requires integrated studies focused fr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406429593943,"sku":"9780875904191","price":70.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-rocky-mountain-region-an-evolving-lithosphere-9780875904191","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
