The emergence of plate tectonics out of mantle convection appears to rely intrinsically on the capacity to form extremely weak faults in the top 100km of the planet. These faults have a memory of at least several hundred millions of years, yet they appear to rely on the effects of water ...
Tectonics embraces as its chief working principle the concept of plate tectonics (q.v.), a theory that was formulated in the late 1960s by American, Canadian, and British geophysicists to broaden and synthesize the notion of continental drift and the seafloor spreading hypothesis (qq.v.)....

What is tectonic plate movement? What is a plate in plate tectonics? What is generated by movements of tectonic plates? What type of boundaries does the African Plate have? How thick are tectonic plates? What happens when tectonic plates move away from each other, otherwise known as divergent...

AMC Sengor,C Zabc,B Natalin 摘要: Continental transform faults commonly do not obey the kinematic rules of plate tectonics, because at their ends lithosphere is rarely created or destroyed. Earthquakes along them reach depths of some 20 km maximum, except in rare shortening segments, where ...

Earth's internal heat, fueled by radioactivity, provides the energy for plate tectonics and continental drift, mountain building, and earthquakes.It can also be harnessed to drive electric generators and heat homes.Geothermal energy becomes available in a practical form when underground heat is transfe...

A conjugate system of faults (shear and reactivated fracture zones) accommodates intraplate deformation in the Wharton Basin. The deformation at well-defined, narrow plate boundaries depends on the relative plate motion, but how the deformation takes place within a distributed plate boundary zone remai...
