Contents: I. Geotectonic Concepts. 1. Diapiric krikogenesis (S.W. Carey). 2. Arcuate crustal structures (V.V. Beloussov). 3. Regularities in the pattern of major fault zones of the earth and the origin of arcs (N. Pavoni). 4. Global neotectonics, arcs and geoid configuration (N.-A. Morner). II. Geophysics and Geochemistry. 1. Evidence of a deep-reaching lithospheric root under the Alpine Arc (S. Mueller, G.F. Panza). 2. On the dynamics of convergent plate boundaries and stress in the lithosphere (M.J.R. Wortel, S.A.P.L. Cloetingh). 3. Paleomagnetism in arcuate mountain belts (W. Lowrie, A.M. Hirt). 4.
