A question many of us have always been asking is ‘where did we come from?’ The question is answered in this book.
In this book - the first in trilogy - the author tries to understand tectonics; of why lands move over the Earth’s surface and the consequences of these movements - be they volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, or mountain building. It is explained now for the first time. However, this subject, still in its infancy, had to bridged by three hypotheses; how did the solar system form, how did the Earth happen and, how and when did the Moon come about; all three critical in understanding ‘tectonics’.
