plate tectonics is the theory that earth’s outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. the plates act like hard and rigid shells compared to earth’s mantle. this strong outer layer is called the lithosphere. the earth’s ...

Most Alpine geologists were either highly critical of the theory of plate tectonic when it arrived or expressed serious reservations towards the idea. Of the exceptions, first Laubscher and then Ber- noulli showed very clearly how important the new theory could be for understanding the evolution ...
The opening of the western Mediterranean basin started during the Alpine orogeny, when an eastward tectonic extension occurred between the African and Eurasian plates due to a subduction rollback between the oceanic and the continental slab (back arc extension). As a result, at the beginning of ...

Versions Notes Abstract The North Aegean Sea region in Greece is located at the convergence of the Eurasian, African, and Anatolian tectonic plates. The region experiences frequent seismicity ranging from moderate to large-magnitude earthquakes. Tectonic interactions and seismic events in this area have...
