As expansion continued, the cracks would grow into ocean basins and basaltic magma from the mantle would rise through the cracks to form the oceanic c ...

Intro to Plate Tectonics

A convergent boundary is a boundary where two separate plates are pushing into each other. There are two kinds of surface features that are associate ...

Lecture 10
... How can plate tectonics help in earthquake prediction? We have seen that earthquakes occur at the following three kinds of plate boundary: ocean ridges where the plates are pulled apart, margins where the plates scrape past one another, and margins where one plate is thrust under the other. Thus, ...

History of geology
The history of geology is concerned with the development of the natural science of geology. Geology is the scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. Throughout the ages geology provides essential theories and data that shape how society conceptualizes the Earth.
