This article reports on research designed to create a characterization of the different levels of sophistication around plate tectonics in the form of a learning progression for middle grades (grades 6-9). A learning progression is an educational research construct that...
Virtual stent making process based upon novel enhanced plate tectonics derived from endoluminal mapping The present invention concerns a process for making a virtual stent for implantation into a body lumen. A particularly preferred embodiement is optmized for emplacement and indwelling in the internal ...

The size and depth of these magma chambers can be determined by mapping the earthquake activity around them. If a magma chamber rises to the surface without solidifying, the magma will break through in the form of a volcanic eruption. The Washington-Oregon coastline of the United States is an...
A global map of perennial plate tectonics (Fig. 1) presents a redefined illustration of tectonic activity and modifies the conventional theory of plate tectonics. Methods Governing equations. The experiments are modelled using the 2D, thermal– mechanical finite element numerical code SOPALE43, which...
The geodynamic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau remains highly debated. Any model of its evolution must explain the plateau’s growth as constrained by palaeo-altitude studies, the spatio-temporal distribution of magmatic activity, and the lithospheric m
The activity initiated on the transform fault segment with predominantly shear strike-slip events. The non-shear fractures occurred later being associated with normal dip-slips and corresponding to the opening of volcanic fissures trending in the azimuth of 30–35°, perpendicular to the extension. ...
With regard to Alpine geologists of the time, they were renowned for the high quality of their geological mapping. This remained the very special activity in which they excelled, but they focused on topics that were becoming narrower and narrower, and increasingly specialised. The new avenues ...
The spatial analysis of horizontal stress orientation is important to study stress sources and understand tectonics and the deformation of the lithosphere. Additional to the stress sources, the geometry of stress fields depends on the underlying coordinate reference system, which causes spatial distortions...
