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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
