How did the discovery of plate tectonics affect the geological time scale? What is stress in structural geology? How does geology affect the formation of coastal landforms? How do pressure and temperature change from Earth's surface to the bottom of the thermosphere?
If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as
Cliffs are the steep rockfaces that frame valleys and many seas and oceans around the world. Cliffs generally feature a nearly vertical face, but there is no specific angle a rockface must have to be called a cliff. As landforms of erosion, cliffs are usually created over time but ...

At the beginning of this Eon, the mantle was much hotter than it is today, possibly as high as 1600 °C (2900 °F). As a result, the planet was much more geologically active, processes like convection and plate tectonics occurred much faster, and subduction zones were more common. Nevert...
Once buried, organic remains enter a long and complex process by which their substance is changed into fossil form. The study of this process is called taphonomy. It overlaps with the study ofdiagenesis, the set of processes that turn sediment into rock. ...
