... According to the theory of plate tectonics, the lithosphere is made up of a number of plates that contain oceanic and continental crust. These plates are in constant slow motion, driven by convection currents in the mantle. As they move, the plates collide, pull apart, or grind past each other, crea ...

With only two components this approach does not yield chondritic ratios for many key elements, most notably Si/Mg. An alternate approach is to search for the most "primitive" ultramafic rock (that is, the one ...

Fold Fault Denudation
... Folding, Faulting and Denudation As soon as a rock particle (loosened by one of the two weathering processes) moves, we call it erosion or mass wasting. Mass wasting is simply movement down slope due to gravity. Rock falls, slumps, and debris flows are all examples of mass wasting. We call it erosi ...

Plate Tectonics

Many of them are too small to be felt by humans, but each event tells scientists something more about the ...
