Abstract
... A recent analytic boundary layer model of convection with layered viscosity and tectonic plates has revealed the existence of multiple convective modes, with transitions and hysteresis. Modes include ‘classical’ plate tectonics, a sluggish plate mode and a foundering plate mode. Analytic results com ...

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.
