The plate tectonics theory established in the 20th century has been successful in interpreting many geological phenomena, processes, and events that have occurred in the Phanerozoic. However, the ...
The Indo-Burmese region is defined by the oblique collision of the Indian Plate beneath the Burma-Sunda block, giving rise to a complex mosaic of subduction, strike-slip faults and accretionary wedges ...
Researchers used small zircon crystals to unlock information about magmas and plate tectonic activity in early Earth. The research provides chemical evidence that plate tectonics was most likely ...
In a new study, a team of researchers suggests that 4 billion years ago, plate tectonics likely looked closer to what we experience today than previously thought. The team published its findings in ...

How the tectonic plates were formed
Earth’s crust looks solid from the surface, but it is broken into a shifting mosaic of slabs that slowly rearrange oceans and continents. Understanding how those tectonic plates first formed is one of ...
The granite petrogenesis and tectonic evolution of Southeast Asia are intimately linked to the region’s protracted convergence history between the Indian, Eurasian and Australian plates. From the ...
