Though the history of plate tectonics now provide us with a *modus operandi*, they still seem to me to be a periodic phenomenon. Nothing is world-wide, but everything is episodic. In other words the history of any part of the earth, like the life of a soldier, consists of long periods of boredom and short periods of terror. -- Derek Victor Ager (1923-1992, British geologist) in "The nature of the Stratigraphical Record, 3rd edn" (1993),141
