Plate Tectonics and the Archean Earth

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Science, 2020
If we accept that a critical condition for plate tectonics is the creation and maintenance of a global network of narrow boundaries separating multiple plates, then to argue for plate tectonics during the Archean requires more than a local record of ...

The Evolution of the Continental Crust and the Onset of Plate Tectonics

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The Earth is the only known planet where plate tectonics is active, and different studies have concluded that plate tectonics commenced at times from the early Hadean to 700 Ma.

Geochemical characteristics and provenance of the detrital sediments in the junction area of Yinggehai and Qiongdongnan basins, South China Sea

Scientific Reports, 2023
Together, the Yinggehai and Qiongdongnan basins have received a large amount of terrigenous sediments, but the provenance evolution of Cenozoic sediments in the two basins remains disputable.

Geological archive of the onset of plate tectonics

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2018
Plate tectonics, involving a globally linked system of lateral motion of rigid surface plates, is a characteristic feature of our planet, but estimates of how long it has been the modus operandi of lithospheric formation and interactions range from the ...

Fractal analysis of shape factor for matrix-fracture transfer function in fractured reservoirs

Oil & Gas Science and Technology, 2020
As the core function of dual-porosity model in fluids flow simulation of fractured reservoirs, matrix-fracture transfer function is affected by several key parameters, such as shape factor.

Charon tectonics

Icarus, 2017
New Horizons images of Pluto's companion Charon show a variety of terrains that display extensional tectonic features, with relief surprising for this relatively small world. These features suggest a global extensional areal strain of order 1% early in Charon's history.

The structure of the lithosphere in area of junction between the Okhotsk sea and the continental tectonic structures

Литосфера, 2017
The area of junction of the Ul'in volcano-tectonic structure of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt and tectonic structures of Okhotsk Sea has both fundamental interest - for understanding tectonics and geodynamics on the outskirts of the continent, and ...
