Plate tectonics is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth’s lithosphere. The geoscientific community accepted plate-tectonic theory after seafloor spreading was validated in the early 1960s. See...
Tectonic Plates, Lithosphere, and Asthenosphere The fundamental assumption underlying plate tectonics is that the outer part of the Earth consists of a small number of thin, rigid plates which are curved to fit the spherical shape of the Earth. The plates are considered to suffer no internal defo...
Strontium isotopes are used to infer animal mobility patterns. Both the MAR-1A-5 strontium ratios and those of the three Middle PleistoceneHippopotamusspecimens analysed fall within the range of published environmental strontium values of the Tripolis and Pindos geotectonic units47, the local predominan...

Low amplitude, long wavelength "epeirogenic" vertical motions in continental interiors are not easily explained by plate tectonic theory. The extent to which dynamic topography induced by deep mantle buoyancy forces can account for these cryptic continental displacements is a subject of increasing study...
offering insights into the Earth’s tectonic history and processes. Four beaches along the Salvador seafront were selected for quantitative assessment of their geosite potential: Barra, Ondina, Paciência, and Itapuã. Paciência Beach stands out for its high geosite potential, combining significant sci...

Mantle convection is the most widely studied method of tectonic plate movement and it is very similar to the theory developed by Holmes in 1929. There are large convection currents of molten material in the Earth's upper mantle. As these currents transmit energy to the Earth's asthenosphere (t...
