, 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 ...

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

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.

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.

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.

Plate tectonics and convection in the Earth's mantle: toward a numerical simulation [PDF]
, 2000 Plate tectonics is a kinematic description of Earth that treats the outer shell of its mantle as a number of plates or rigid spherical caps that move with respect to each other (see the “Plate tectonics” sidebar).

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.

Constraints on the active tectonics of the Friuli/NW Slovenia area from CGPS measurements and three-dimensional kinematic modeling [PDF]
, 2009 We use site velocities from continuous GPS (CGPS) observations and kinematic modeling to investigate the active tectonics of the Friuli/NW Slovenia area.

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.
