- Earth-Science Reviews 被引量: 20发表: 2016年 Secular change and the onset of plate tectonics on Earth - ScienceDirect The Earth as a planetary system has experienced significant change since its formation c. 4.54 Gyr ago. Some of these changes have been gradual, such as se... RMP A,...
In the theory of plate tectonics the transform faults are part of small circles (SC) around the Euler’s pole. In the Ω-Theory, large faults/earthquakes in the Earth’s crust interact each other to compensate for the rotations of the tectonic plates or parts of the crust around a Euler...

The Earth's plates jostle about in fits and starts that are punctuated with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
"Based on the evidence we found, it looks like plate tectonics is a much more likely process to have occurred on the early Earth and that argues for an Earth that looks a lot more similar to today's than a lot of people think," Brenner said. ...

The meaning of PLATE TECTONICS is a theory in geology: the lithosphere of the earth is divided into a small number of plates which float on and travel independently over the mantle and much of the earth's seismic activity occurs at the boundaries of thes
Plate tectonics, theory dealing with the dynamics of Earth’s outer shell that revolutionized Earth sciences by providing a uniform context for understanding mountain-building processes, volcanoes, and earthquakes as well as the evolution of Earth’s sur
Earth sciences - Plate Tectonics, Geology, Geophysics: Plate tectonics has revolutionized virtually every discipline of the Earth sciences since the late 1960s and early 1970s. It has served as a unifying model or paradigm for explaining geologic phenome
