Abstract:

Earthquakes are caused primarily by the movement of plates. Plates move over the mantle, and the mantle is solid rock. So why aren’t there earthquakes beneath the plates? If all plates are moving (and they are), there should be earthquakes just about everywhere, at a depth corresponding to the base of the plates. The answer is that, while plate boundaries are the natural home of jerks, the mantle beneath the plates is the preserve of creeps. Except where cold slabs penetrate to depths of 650 km or more, the mantle moves only very gradually by creep, a phenomenon that occurs in many solids, including metals, when subjected to stress. Creep can be very inconvenient, particularly where a metal happens to form part of, say, a turbine blade in an aero engine. On the other hand, creep is the process that transformed the Earth into a living world.

Abstract:

Written in a witty and informal style, this book explains modern plate tectonics in a non-technical manner, showing not only how it accounts for phenomena such as great earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, but also how it controls conditions at the Earth’s surface, including global geography and climate, making it suitable for life. The book presents the advances that have been made since the establishment of plate tectonics in the 1960s, highlighting, on the fiftieth anniversary of the theory, the contributions of a small number of scientists who have never been widely recognized for their discoveries. Beginning with the publication of a short article in Nature by Vine and Matthews, the book traces the development of plate tectonics through two generations of the theory. First-generation plate tectonics covers the exciting scientific revolution of the 1960s, its heroes, and its villains. The second generation includes the rapid expansions in sonar, satellite, and seismic technologies during the 1980s and 1990s that provided a truly global view of the plates and their motions, and an appreciation of the role of their within the Earth system. Arriving at the cutting edge of the science, the latest results from studies using techniques such as seismic tomography and mineral physics to probe the deep interior are discussed and the prospects for finding plate tectonics on other planets assessed. Ultimately, the book leads to the startling conclusion that, without plate tectonics, the Earth would be as lifeless as Venus.

Abstract:

Anyone living around the Pacific Ocean will be familiar with plate tectonics by jerks. That is, periods of quiescence when nothing much seems to be happening, punctuated by very large, frequently fatal, and so far unpredictable, earth movements on a time scale of seconds. Surprisingly, careful measurements of plate motions over periods of just a few years (using geodetic methods that will be discussed in Part II) show that the plates are in fact moving almost continuously, so that what there is on all but the very shortest timescales is ‘plate tectonics by creeps’. Happily, in this context, jerks and creeps are not mutually exclusive and so, unlike the biologists, there is no need to come to blows.

Abstract:

Tuzo Wilson introduces the concept of transform faults, which has the effect of transforming Earth Science forever. Resistance to the new ideas is finally overcome in the late 1960s, as the theory of moving plates is established. Two scientists play a major role in quantifying the embryonic theory that is eventually dubbed ‘plate tectonics’. Dan McKenzie applies Euler’s theorem, used previously by Teddy Bullard to reconstruct the continents around the Atlantic, to the problem of plate rotations on a sphere and uses it to unravel the entire history of the Indian Ocean. Jason Morgan also wraps plate tectonics around a sphere. Tuzo Wilson introduces the idea of a fixed hotspot beneath Hawaii, an idea taken up by Jason Morgan to create an absolute reference frame for plate motions.

Abstract:

After fifty years, you’d have thought that Harry Hess’ gloomy prognosis would have come to pass and plate tectonics research would by now be reduced to a mopping-up exercise. Nothing, however, could be further from reality. Surprisingly, many of the outstanding problems at the frontier of current research are also the most fundamental—still unresolved after a generation of effort. For example, when did plate tectonics begin (and when might it cease)? What came before plate tectonics? How are plates formed? Does plate tectonics occur elsewhere in the solar system? Progress is being made on all these questions, and answers to some could well be found within our lifetime.
