, 2019 Plate tectonics is the root concept underpinning our current knowledge of how Earth's internal dynamics are linked to geologic deformation at the surface. Since the discovery of plate tectonics in the 1960s, geoscientists have developed a first-order understanding of a plate system in which the Earth's surface is broken into about a dozen mostly rigid ...

, 2018 The idea that plate tectonics may not have operated deep in Earth's Precambrian past has a long legacy. What predated plate tectonics is unknown, and advances in data – from geochemical, geological and tectonic, to paleomagnetic, as well as modelling ...

Plate tectonics: When ancient continents collide [PDF]
, 2017 The geological record preserves scant evidence for early plate tectonics. Analysis of eclogites — metamorphic rocks formed in subduction zones — in the Trans-Hudson mountain belt suggests modern-style subduction may have operated 1,800 million years ...

Indonesian Landforms and Plate Tectonics
Indonesian Journal on Geoscience, 2014 DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v5i3.103The horizontal configuration and vertical dimension of the landforms occurring in the tectonically unstable parts of Indonesia were resulted in the first place from plate tectonics.

On the plate tectonics hypothesis
Геофизический журнал, 2013 The history of the origin and use of the hypothesis of plate tectonics on the continents, oceans and in the transition zones are analyzed. Its contradiction with basic facts of geological history and geophysical data for these regions has been shown.

The importance of temporal stress variation and dynamic disequilibrium for the initiation of plate tectonics [PDF]
, 2016 We use 1-D thermal history models and 3-D numerical experiments to study the impact of dynamic thermal disequilibrium and large temporal variations of normal and shear stresses on the initiation of plate tectonics.

Driving mechanisms for plate tectonics
Geofísica Internacional, 1973 Esta generalmente aceptada la idea de que el motor de la tectónica de placas sea algún tipo de convección térmica. La fuerza impelente puede aplicarse dentro de la placa, o bien puede transmitirse a la placa desde abajo.

Deconstructing Tectonics: Ten Animated Explorations
Earth and Space Science, 2020 The configuration of continents and oceans of our tectonically active planet is ever changing. Using new, high‐resolution paleogeographic base maps, we created a set of animations that examine key elements of plate tectonics.

Earth's Earliest Phaneritic Ultramafic Rocks: Mantle Slices or Crustal Cumulates?
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 When plate tectonics initiated remains uncertain, partly because many signals interpreted as diagnostic of plate tectonics can be alternatively explained via hot stagnant‐lid tectonics.
