There is quite a bit of evidence supporting plate tectonics. Continents such as South America and Africa seem to fit together nicely. Similar fossils have been discovered on separate continents which indicates that the continents were once connected as a giant landmass. Furthermore, earthquakes occur...
Continental drift, large-scale horizontal movement of continents relative to one another and to the ocean basins during one or more episodes of geologic time. This concept was an important precursor to the development of the theory of plate tectonics, wh
Both phenomena have been misinterpreted as supporting plate tectonics. The next chapter will explain this in greater detail. Ice Age. As mentioned on page 125, an ice age requires cold continents and warm oceans. Indeed, even the Arctic Ocean was a warm 73°F (23°C) soon after the Mid-...
From a geological perspective, the tectonic and thermal processes which drive plate motion are also responsible, either directly or indirectly, for inducing fluid motion across and through the continents. Supporting evidence for this emerging paradigm is based on observations of pervasive rock-water ...
60, using Mg, Ni and Cr elements in basaltic rocks show a consistent and rapid drop at ~3.2–3.0 Ga that indicates an abrupt change in mantle potential temperature at the start of global-scale plate tectonics. Although we cannot rule out the presence of intermittent stagnant lid tectonics ...

Another piece of evidence supporting our model comes from the overlapping of Ti-in-zircon thermometry of Hadean detrital zircons (~4.4. billion years) from Archean metasedi- mentary rocks with those from granophyre of the SIC. This similarity testifies for the possible generation of more felsic ...
Catchy expressions tend to go through one’s head and thereby gain strength, while qualifications and supporting information are forgotten. In this one a defeatist mood is enforced, rather than the optimistic prospect of growth and evolution of changing ideas. To separate the objective evidence from...
the influence of the Sierra Leone plume62,63. These observations suggest that the extent of mantle melting and mantle isotherms are not significantly suppressed approaching TFs and NTOs as required by 3-D diapiric mantle upwelling3,8, supporting relatively uniform mantle upwelling in our study ...
Crustal and lithospheric structure in the Eastern Indian Shield (EIS), where the oldest Hadean rocks of 4.0–4.2 Ga11,12were found, have been investigated using various seismic techniques, suggesting that vertical tectonics (plume activities) controlled the Neo-Archean crustal accretion at the Singh...
