Background information on geological processes

Background information on geological processes and plate tectonics is described well in the USGS publication "The Dynamic Earth".

Other geological information and descriptions are available through the following web sites:

Deep seismic profiling

Many deep seismic profiling programs have been conducted world wide. Many have incorporated deep seismic reflection profiling with wide-angle seismic profiling, tomographic methods, and magnetotelluric surveys to provide multidisciplinary data sets.
