[This Week in Science] Applying pressure to plate tectonicsAuthor: Brent GrocholskiBrent Grocholski
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
"Before plate tectonics, people had to come up with explanations of the geologic features in their region that were unique to that particular region," Van der Elst told Live Science. "Plate tectonics unified all these descriptions and said that you should be able to describe all geologic featur...
"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 findings were published in Science Adv...

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
This lesson provides a definition of plate tectonics, explains the theory of plate tectonics, and what phenomena in the natural world that the...
plate tectonics n (Geological Science) (functioning as singular)geologythe study of the structure of the earth's crust and mantle with reference to the theory that the earth's lithosphere is divided into large rigid blocks (plates) that are floating on semifluid rock and are thus able to int...
