A hologram is an image in which each area contains almost all the information about the entire system. It is a metaphor commonly used for complex systems in which the whole is bigger than the sum of the parts because of self-organization. And also the whole is smaller than the sum of the parts, since the collective organization limits the behavior of ...

Science, 1972
Plate tectonics as a theory distinct from, yet embracing, continental drift and sea floor spreading was formulated by Wilson [1965] when he described a continuous network of ridges, transforms, and subduction zones bounding large rigid plates. Wilson explicitly discussed many of the consequences of the relative motion of torsionally rigid plates such ...

This paper studies two digital generative tools in terms of Performative Tectonics. Performative Tectonics is a term developed in the paper, which links the contemporary development of digital tools to the tectonic tradition of architecture. Within the theoretical framework of this definition, the paper presents case studies of the structural ...

Concerning tectonics and the tectonic evolution of the Arctic
Russian Geology and Geophysics, 2013Abstract The particularities of the current tectonic structure of the Russian part of the Arctic region are discussed with the division into the Barents–Kara and Laptev–Chukchi continental margins. We demonstrate new geological data for the key structures of the Arctic, which are analyzed with consideration of new geophysical data ...

Before scientific inquiry revealed how earthquakes happen, there were many traditional explanations. In ancient Japan, it was believed that earthquakes were caused by a giant mischievous catfish flipping around in the center of the earth. In Mongolia, it was a frog, which carried the earth around and twitched now and then.

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1987
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions affect ecosystems on a variety of scales. Trees are particularly susceptible to land movements associated with major fault activity and dendrological studies offer ways of dating past earthquakes, thereby assisting in the prediction of future events.

Tectonic Evolution of the Yangtze Tectonic Regime
1989The Yangtze Tectonic Regime, bounded by several great faults, consists of three parts: West Sichuan Fold Belts, Yangtze Platform and South China Fold Belts. The Sichuan Basin Ancient Core covered with thick sedimentary sequences and considered as a oldest part of Yangtze Platform was expanded step by step by accreted wedges or belts composed of trench ...

The mechanisms driving plate motion and the Earth's geodynamics are still not entirely clarified. Lithospheric volumes recycled at subduction zones or emerging at rift zones testify mantle convection. The cooling of the planet and the related density gradients are invoked to explain mantle convection either driven from the hot interior or from the ...

Tectonic landforms and quaternary tectonics in Japan
GeoJournal, 1980The study of tectonic landforms is one of the main themes of geomophological research in Japan, characterized as a tectonically active area along the subducting oceanic plates. The recent trends in the studies of tectonic landforms which include an arrangement or distribution of major ranges and plains, vertical displacement of low-relief erosion ...

Continental tectonics in the aftermath of plate tectonics
Nature, 1988It is shown that the basic tenet of plate tectonics, rigid-body movements of large plates of lithosphere, fails to apply to continental interiors. There, buoyant continental crust can detach from the underlying mantle to form mountain ranges and broad zones of diffuse tectonic activity.
