This map shows the major tectonic plates that make upEarth’s lithosphere. This video cannot be played because of a technical error.(Error Code: 102006) Tectonic plates are massive slabs of solid rock that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and move relative to one another. T...
Earth’s tectonic plate boundaries are unusual because they can consist ofcontinent and ocean crust. Here are the 7 major tectonic plates of the world in a bit more detail. 1. Pacific Plate The Pacific major plate is the largest which underlies the Pacific Ocean. Specifically, it stretches al...
Planet Earth is made up of four overlapping subsystems that contain all of world’s land masses, water sources, living organisms, and gases. These four subsystems are known as spheres. Geographers break down the Earth’s systems into four spheres that make up the world’s air (atmosphere),...
This status represents Taishan's unique importance in the study of geological evolution, not only in North China, but also across the world.

The PhanSST database is a part of the broader PhanTASTIC (Phanerozoic Technique Averaged Surface Temperature Integrated Curve) initiative28, which aims to produce an internally consistent and statistically robust record of Earth’s global mean surface temperature over the last 539 million years. Ultimat...
Reactivation during Cenozoic Indian-Asian collision resulted in the formation of one of the steepest continental escarpments in the world14,15,16. The Longmenshan orogenic belt has been a key region to evaluate the Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic evolution of China17,18,19,20,21 and has also been ...
