Plate Tectonics and Sea floor Spreading The theory of plate tectonics describes the motions of the lithosphere, the comparatively rigid outer layer of the Earth that includes all the crust and part of the underlying mantle. The lithosphereis divided into a few dozen plates of various sizes and ...
the kinds of geologic activity observed at the two boundaries are quite different. the idea of sea-floor spreading actually preceded the theory of plate tectonics. in its original version, in the early 1960's, it described the creation and destruction of the ocean floor, but it did not speci...

板块构造和海底扩张(Plate Tectonics and Sea-floor Spreading) 板块结构与海床扩展板块结构理论描述岩石圈的运动。 岩石圈是相对坚硬的地球外层,包括全部地壳和部分地幔。 岩石圈被划分为几十个大小不同形状各异的板块,一般而言这些板块都处于相对运动之中。 一道中海脊是板块之间的边界,在那里新的岩石圈的物质从下部...
The idea of sea-floor spreading actually preceded the theory of plate tectonics. In its original version, in the early 1960's, it described the creation and destruction of the ocean floor, but it did not specify rigid lithospheric plates. The hypothesis was substantiated soon afterward by the ...
During subduction, as a plate dives into the depths, we think part of it finds its way back to the surface in the form of volcanoes. The theory of plate tectonics and the discovery of sea floor spreading have confirmed the theory of continental drift, the movement of continents. Sea floor...

onset of the modern plate tectonics regime accelerated complex life evolution, which is the reason for us to introduce the respective fptterm to the Drake equation. Thirdly, we explore for the first time why the very rare long-lasting presence of large expanses of both continents and oceans on...
