Global tectonics based on a model of the earth characterized by a small number (10-25) of semirigid plates which float on some viscous underlayer in the mantle; each plate moves more or less independently and grinds against the others, concentrating most deformation, volcanism, and seismic activi...
This could also lead to a better differentiation of different superimposed effects in the data, which could in turn make the effect of plate tectonics traceable not only in the long run but also in the foreseeable future, at least in some regions. Further factors directly related to the ...
The impact of plate tectonics on biological evolution acceleration What is the evidence that biological evolution accelerated in Neoproterozoic time? Life began sometime prior to ~ 3.8 Ga35,36. Evolution was slow for the first 3 billion years, dominated by microbes (Bacteria and Archaea), sin...
Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus‚ from the Greek: τεκτονικός "pertaining to building")[1] is a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motions of Earth’s lithosphere. The model builds on the concepts of continental drift‚ developed during the first...
According to the theory of plate tectonics, the island arc appears before the back-arc spreading in the trench-arc-basin system (Sdrolias and Müller, 2006). However, the eldest island arc recorded in the Yap Island is Tomil Agglomerate (Tayama, 1935), and evidence from foraminifera fossils...

Abstract Plate tectonics successfully describes the surface of Earth as a mosaic of moving lithospheric plates. But it is not clear what happens at the base of the plates, the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (LAB). The LAB has been well imaged with converted teleseismic waves1,2, whose 10–...
