Earth Resulted from plate tectonics
The Geoscientist
ache approximately when the earth converted
from single closure to plate tectonics with the plate crumbling from one
plate to two plates and so on the existent global system of seven major and
many smaller plates. But trunk highlights geological and theoretical suggestion
that plate tectonics began between 800million and 600million years ago, and
have circulated several articles arguing for this timing.
Numerous systems have
been projected to explain what generated this histrionic cool down, which
occurred during a geological era called the Neoproterozoic. Now two geologists
at The University of Texas at Dallas and UT Austin suggest that those major weather
changes can be linked to one thing: the advent of plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics is a
theory expressed in the late 1960s that states the Earth's crust and upper
mantle a layer called the lithosphere is
broken into moving pieces, or plates. These plates move very slowly about as
fast as your fingernails and hair grow triggering earthquakes, mountain ranges
and volcanoes.
