The history of the continents and oceans is the history of our planet. As the main geostructural and morphostructural forms of the Earth, they are in eternal conflict – the struggle of the land with the water, the counteraction of the internal and external earth forces, the influence of the cosmic factors.
The rupture of the single procontinent Pangea, the formation of modern continents and oceans, the birth and disappearance of islands, volcanic eruptions, giant earthquakes, climate change are all parts of this story. The book describes in an accessible form the new ideas about the construction and history of the continents and oceans.
