The Tibetan Plateau stands as a monumental record of continental collision and subsequent geodynamic evolution, offering compelling insights into both regional and global tectonic processes.
As the second largest dust source on the globe, the tectonic and climatic evolution of continental Asia has an important impact on regional and global climate change and has been of interest to ...
About 56 million years ago, Europe and North America began pulling apart to form what became the ever-expanding North Atlantic Ocean. Vast amounts of molten rock from Earth's mantle reached the ocean ...
The controversial mechanism of klippes produced along the NE-striking Longmen Shan thrust belt (LSTB) in the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, was the key point of comprehending tectonic ...
The analysis and interpretation of the Dachaidan area, Qaidam Basin, is difficult, owing to the colocation of two groups of thrust faults (N–E faults and N–W faults) there and the area’s complicated ...
Mount Everest increases in height by about 4 millimeters each year due to tectonic plates constantly moving. The height is changing because the Indian tectonic plate is pushing below the Eurasian ...
Plate tectonics in the Pacific and Atlantic during the Cretaceous period shaped the Caribbean region
The concurrent subduction of the Pacific and Atlantic plates resulted in the formation of a mantle plum and the ascent of magma. Credit: Nicolas Riel Earthquakes and volcanism occur as a result of ...
