This collection of monographs examines the creation, evolution, and characteristics of the lithosphere, the solid outer skin of the earth, as well as difficulties encountered in modeling the conditions in which they occurred. Some topics include: continental and oceanic lithosphere structure from long-range seismic profiling, the fate of subducted oceanic crust and the origin of intraplate volcanism, volatiles in the mantle lithosphere, deformable lithospheric plates, space and time variations of elastic and anelastic properties in the shallow lithosphere, and possible paleoshorelines and the evolution of the lithosphere on Mars. Numerous illustrations are included
