A simulation showing how plate-tectonic boundaries emerge because of inherited damage following a shift in plate-tectonic driving forces. A cold, crusty shell of a planet that regularly kills off its ...

An unprecedented observation of a major geological process is currently taking place off the North American coast. For the ...

The current theory of continental drift provides a good model for understanding terrestrial processes through history. However, while plate tectonics is able to successfully shed light on processes up ...

The initiation of plate tectonics on Earth is a critical event in our planet’s history. The time lag between the first proto-subduction (about 4 billion years ago) and global tectonics (approximately ...

Papers presented in a special symposium at the joint annual meeting of the Geological and Mineralogical Associations of Canada at St. John's in May, 1974. Contents Tectonic settings for emplacement of ...

A cold, crusty shell of a planet that regularly kills off its occupants with violent earthquakes and massive volcanic eruptions doesn't sound like ideal habitat. But Earth's grinding plates, the ...
