Plate tectonics and Russian geology
Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2017 A wide distribution of the US hypothesis of plate tectonics in the geological enterprises, in the geological universities of the country and in the editorial of the geological journals has been considered. This hypothesis was created 50 years ago and was

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.

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, 2023 Tectonics is the scientific discipline that studies the relationship between planetary convection and surface deformation and magmatism. In recent years global tectonic regimes and planetary evolution have become foci of astronomical and planetological ...

Regarding the article by V.V. Gordienko «On the nature of the Earth’s magnetic field»
Геофизический журналV.V. Gordienko's article "On the Nature of the Earth's Magnetic Field" is aimed at criticizing plate tectonics. The author argues that paleomagnetic data are used to justify the mechanisms of lithospheric plate movement without sufficient grounds ...

Hadean/Eoarchean tectonics and mantle mixing induced by impacts: a three-dimensional study
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022 The timing of the onset of plate tectonics on Earth remains a topic of strong debate, as does the tectonic mode that preceded modern plate tectonics.

Peroxodisulfate‐Enhanced Leaching of Deep‐Sea Manganese Crusts and Sulfides
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.Ammonium peroxodisulfate enables efficient leaching of deep‐sea manganese crusts and massive sulfides while offering electrolytic recycling. High leaching yields for V, Mn, Co, Mo, Sn, and W, along with complete leaching of As and Sb, highlight its potential as a powerful and sustainable oxidant for marine resource processing.

A historical account of how continental drift and plate tectonics provided the framework for our current understanding of palaeogeography [PDF]
, 2018 Palaeogeography is the cartographic representation of the past distribution of geographic features such as deep oceans, shallow seas, lowlands, rivers, lakes and mountain belts on palinspastically restored plate tectonic base maps.
