This interactive science task card set challenges your students to learn the basics of plate tectonics including layers of the Earth, plate boundaries, and more! This resource contains 32 different cards. These cards are great for review, rotations, partner work, or independent study. Included in...
Plate Tectonics are a theoretical model builds on the concept of continental drift developed during the first few decades of the 20th century. Learn more at BYJU'S
and hence how plate tectonics began.The main challenge is how the strong lithosphere could break and bend if plate tectonics-related weakness and slab-pull force were both absent.In this work we review state-of-the-art subduction initiation(SI)models with a focus on their prerequisites and ...
East–west mantle dichotomy caused by sypercycle plate tectonics Our results show that heterogeneities in the present-day shallow and deep mantle are not exclusively controlled by the north–south hemispheric subdivision ascribed to the DUPAL anomaly. Instead, they are dominantly controlled by the two...
Since the work by Forsyth and Uyeda (1975), it has been repeatedly tested that subducting slab pull is the primary driving force for plate motion and plate tectonics, and other forces such as ridge push is one order of magnitude less important (see Niu, 2014 for review). Slab subduction ...

From a tectonics perspective, this study indicates that the deformation rate in a particular plate boundary is relatively uniform. Stress, however, varies to accommodate this deformation. This viewpoint is consistent with deformation at a plate boundary, but it is not the typical way in which we...
