The Earth's plates jostle about in fits and starts that are punctuated with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Principles of Plate Tectonics Today Scientists today have a better understanding of the make-up of the tectonic plates, the driving forces of their movement, and the ways in which they interact with one another. A tectonic plate itself is defined as a rigid segment of the Earth's lithosphere...
"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. ...

Understanding which geodynamic mode(s) prevailed on our planet before plate tectonics is a major challenge in Earth science1. The secular evolution in global trends of geochemical2,3, metamorphic4,5, geophysical6 and paleomagnetic7 data from Archean rocks suggest that, towards the end of the Arc...
