The Thermal Evolution of an Earth with Strong Subduction Zones
... It is commonly supposed that plate tectonic rates are controlled by the temperature-dependent viscosity of Earth's deep interior. If this were so, a small decrease in mantle temperature would lead to a large decreasein global heat transport. This negative feedback mechanism would prevent mantle temp ...

... Types of Folds Depending on how the rock layers deform, different types of folds are made. Figure 2 shows the two most common types of folds-anticlines, or upward-arching folds; and synclines, down ward, troughlike folds. Another type of fold is a monocline. In a monocline, rock layers are folded s ...

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.
