This project investigates the mechanisms behind plate tectonics, focusing on subduction initiation and the interactions of lithospheric plates. By utilizing both natural and numerical laboratories, it aims to enhance understanding of geological processes that drive plate movements, contributing to Earth Sciences.
The concept of Plate Tectonics, as fundamentally unifying to Earth Sciences as Darwin’s Evolution Theory is to Life Sciences, mathematically describes the complex evolution of Earth’s outer shell in terms of lithosphere plates and their interactions.
There is no widely accepted dynamic mechanism, however, that explains why plate tectonics developed and continues.
Subduction of oceanic lithosphere into the mantle, compensated by spreading of new oceanic lithosphere elsewhere is a key element of p…
