Possible Biological Consequences of Plate Tectonics
... The fundamental idea of plate tectonics is that the ocean floor moves. The lithosphere of the earth (approximately the top 70 km) consists essentially of a system of large, nearly rigid plates added to by upwelling of new, relatively hot lithosphere along oceanic ridges and destroyed by subduction a ...

Intro to plate tectonics

In some regions, the boundaries are not well defined because the plate-movement deformation occurring there extends over a broad belt (called a plate-boundary zone). One of these zones marks the Mediterranean-Alpine region bet ...

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.
