A video posted on YouTube last year drew people’s attention to the unifying modern theory of geology that explains earthquakes: plate tectonics. Viewed nearly 3.2 million times, the broadcast shows these huge sections of the outer layer of Earth’s structure acting like a puzzle in just 40 seconds.
It is considered one of the most complete models. tectonic plate movement Already conducted, the researchers managed to connect the evolution of the Earth in less than a minute. “and the processes connecting the mantle, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere”.
Movement of tectonic plates
Although there are still doubts about the origin of the formation of tectonic plates, their movement – at the same speed as our nails grow, according to one of the authors of the study – profoundly changing the Earth. Because they support life, these structures affect climate, tides, animal migrations and evolution, volcanic activity, and even metal formation.
According to the study, understanding the movements and patterns adopted by these huge blocks is essential for building a structure. a prospective study of planet habitability in the distant futuree.g.
