Plate Tectonics Plate tectonics theory explains the global distribution of mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, ocean basins and rift valleys on the surface of the Earth. What is the theory of plate tectonics? Plate tectonics theory explains that several plates move on top of the soft mantle. Scienti...
Volcanoes can produce tsunamis by means of earthquakes, caldera and flank collapses, pyroclastic flows or underwater explosions1,2,3,4. These mechanisms rarely displace enough water to trigger transoceanic tsunamis. Violent volcanic explosions, however, can cause global tsunamis1,5by triggering acoustic...

proposed that the two events might be connected. They suggested that Chixculub may have modulated distant volcanism by sending seismic waves through the Earth and accelerating volcanic activity in the Deccan Traps. Similar to the impacts that normal tectonic earthquakes sometimes have on wells and st...
It will produce earthquakes, a pole shift, and great tidal waves. The closer you are to the equator, the less effect you will see during a pole shift Massive tidal waves from what? Bulge of water at equator- held in place by gravity and rotation of earth. The passing planet will distur...

distribution of the main gas discharges in the world in relation to earthquakes and active faults. We observe that extensional tectonic facilitates the opening of pathways for deep rising CO2-rich fluids, unlike the compressional tectonic that may hinder the transport of fluids (Fig.1). Studying ...
