• Explains concepts by means of graphic illustrations, developing equations only when necessary and at a mathematical level that most geology students have mastered. Reveals immediately how specific geophysical observations can be used to interpret structures and processes that occur within the Earth. Pg.___
• Reveals immediately how specific geophysical observations can be used to interpret structures and processes that occur within the Earth. Pg.___
• Focuses on how geophysical techniques provide information on the internal structure and tectonic development of portions of the Earth. Pg.___
• Reinforces students' grasp of plate tectonics—a framework fundamental to the study of the Earth. Pg.___ Conveys the fact that much of what is known about the lithosphere/asthenosphere system comes from specific geophysical observations. Pg.___ Provides a context for learning, allowing geophysical observations to relate to fundamental characteristics and discoveries about the Earth. Pg.___

• Provides a context for learning, allowing geophysical observations to relate to fundamental characteristics and discoveries about the Earth. Pg.___
• Uses models to illustrate geophysical expressions, letting students start with a geological situation, then envision what geophysical observations across such a feature might look like. Pg.___
• Trains students to compile and interpret geophysical aspects of a region of the Earth, and express their understanding of the region's crustal structure and tectonic evolution through writing. Pg.___
• Features a wealth of relevant, interesting problem sets that reinforce the quantitative aspects of geophysics by asking students to work through numerical problems. Pg.___ Challenges students to visualize geophysical constraints on the Earth by drawing cross-sections that represent the structure of the lithosphere in different tectonic settings. Pg.___
