Definition:A divergent boundary is a linear feature on the Earth's surface where two tectonic plates move apart from each other, leading to the upwelling of magma from the mantle which then cools to form new crust. This process results in the creation of mid-ocean ridges in oceanic settings ...

analogous to modern divergent and convergent plate boundary processes. Our results provide direct evidence for lateral plate motions in the late Neoarchean, and arguably the operation of plate tectonics, albeit with warmer than average Phanerozoic subduction geotherms. Further, we surmise that plate tect...
especially to poor documentation and corruption. At the local scale, perspectives on decentralization are largely conflated with what people call “democratization.” The results of democratization to local-scale users include local problems such as confusing land-holding arrangements, political alliances li...
