From:Solid Earth (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe new paradigm of plate tectonics began in 1960 with Harry H. Hess's 1960 realization that new ocean floor was being created today and is not everywhere of Precambrian age as previously thought. In the following...

From:Science Scope (Vol. 44, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedPlate tectonics, a major science theory, describes large-scale motion of Earth's lithospheric plates over millions of years to explain science ideas such as formation of mountains and oceans and the changing positions of...

From:American Scientist (Vol. 96, Issue 2)Around the time that the first birds evolved from their reptilian ancestors, between 100 million and 200 million years ago, the Atlantic Ocean was being born. Its creation marked the destruction of the supercontinent...

From:Nature (Vol. 538, Issue 7625) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Sagar Masuti [1]; Sylvain D. Barbot (corresponding author) [1]; Shun-ichiro Karato [2]; Lujia Feng [1]; Paramesh Banerjee [1] Water, the most abundant volatile in Earths interior, preserves the young...

From:Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences (Vol. 56, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedAlthough Earth is the only known planet on which plate tectonics operates, many small- and large-scale tectonic landforms indicate that deformational processes also occur on the other rocky planets. Although the...

From:Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences (Vol. 56, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThis special issue is dedicated to Ali Mehmet Celal Sengor for his outstanding contributions to plate tectonics and history of geology. His studies have unraveled several mysteries on the origin and deformation of...

From:Oceanus (Vol. 56, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedViolent continental collisions may not seem like the ingredients for life. But a new study co-authored by Peter Barry, assistant scientist at WHOI, unveils a large microbial ecosystem deep within the Earth, fueled by...

From:The Science Teacher (Vol. 84, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedEarth's easily seen surface features (mountains, volcanoes, and islands)--and the movement of the tectonic plates that lie below--offer hints about the processes that produced them. Inquiries in seismology, the study of...

From:Archaeology in Oceania (Vol. 46, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedAbstract We report new evidence from East Timor for the long-term prehistoric use of a single high-silicate obsidian source. Ten artefacts from Jerimalai shelter in East Timor analysed with SEM/EDXA and LA-ICPMS...

From:Progress in Physics (Vol. 16, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedIn this paper, we present physical calculations to support a mechanism of slip displacements of the lithosphere in the plate tectonics model of the earth sciences. In particular, for a lithospheric slip displacement to...

From:Oceanus (Vol. 53, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRoard a ship in Los Angeles and head southwest until you lose sight of land. Then keep going, and going, and going, until you reach the middle of nowhere in the Pacific Ocean. There's nothing to see there but water in...
-
From:Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences (Vol. 56, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedI outline and discuss my career in the context of the history of structural geology and tectonics, the progressive developments that led to plate tectonics, the people who have encouraged and influenced me, the events...

From:Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (Vol. 175, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe occurrence of post-subduction magmatism in continental collision zones is a ubiquitous feature of plate tectonics, but its relation with geodynamic processes remains enigmatic. The nature of mantle sources in these...

From:Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (Vol. 176, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedMetamorphic timescales harbor crucial information for quantifying lithospheric processes and identifying tectonic regimes. The Orosirian Period is known for global orogenesis during 2.1â1.8 Ga that possibly signifies the...

From:Science (Vol. 271, Issue 5255) Peer-ReviewedTomographic imaging reveals seismic anomalies beneath the Sunda island arc, Indonesia, that suggest that the lithospheric slab penetrates to a depth of at least 1500 kilometers. The Sunda slab forms the eastern end of a...
