[translate] aThere was a time when plate tectonics-the movement and collision and subduction of vast slabs of the Earth’s crust-was deemed a very strange idea 当板材构造这运动和地球的浩大的平板的碰撞和算术的减法外壳被视为一个非常奇怪的想法时,有时候 [translate] ...
Plate tectonics became sustainable (the modern style) when Earth cooled sufficiently that decompression melting beneath spreading ridges made thin oceanic crust, allowing oceanic lithosphere to become negatively buoyant after a few tens of millions of years. Ultimately the question of when plate tectonics...
Plate Tectonics is a planetary cooling style characterized by independently moving lithospheric fragments, set in motion by sinking of dense lithosphere in subduction zones. From a kinematic perspective "Plate Tectonics" (pTec) is an appropriate description, but from a dynamic perspective it is best ...
A new study says we may only have another 1.45 billion years to enjoy the dynamic action of Earth’s geologic engine.
In 1948, a Cathay Pacific plane became the first commercial airliner hijacked in an act of air piracy. Research on the possible commercial use of hydraulic fracturing or fracking, which began in 1947, continued through this year and led to the processes used now. 1947: Apartheid, cookout KNew...
Give it up to the writers in theRockyseries, who did their best to give memorable names to Rocky’s opponents. It started in the ’70s with Apollo Creed, but by 1985 the Italian Stallion was set to duke it out against the Soviet giant Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), whose pure physical ...
research that a hypothesis will be accepted. Sometimes the change is evolutionary and sometimes the change is revolutionary. The change from the Expanding-Earth hypothesis to the Continental-Drift hypothesis was revolutionary; the change from the Continental-Drift hypothesis to Plate Tectonics was ...
3). There are no estimates on the magnitude and timing of displacement along these rifts, but one of these rifts may have served as the continuation of the West Antarctic Rift System (WARS), which formed the plate boundary between East and West Antarctica. It is commonly accepted that the ...
