- W4321200447 abstract "Plate tectonics is the theory that considers the Earth's rigid outermost shell, the lithosphere, to be broken into a number of relatively large tectonic plates that slowly move on top of a mechanically weak asthenosphere (part of the upper mantle). Along convergent boundaries, at subduction zones, cold and dense oceanic plates sink into the mantle. The volume of subducted material is balanced by the formation of new (oceanic) crust along divergent margins and the growth of the lithosphere itself due to heat diffusion. This dynamics is intrinsically related to mantle convection, that is, the slow creeping motion of the Earth's solid mantle. This relatively new theory was only generally accepted in the 1960s and transformed the way we think about the evolution and dynamics of the Earth and other rocky planets and moons. Advances in numerical modeling allowed not only a better understanding of plate tectonics, but also the recognition of other tectonic regimes that can explain observations from other Solar System bodies. These are stagnant (a one-plate planet), episodic (where the lithosphere is usually stagnant and sometimes overturns into the mantle), ridge-only (where a large ridge can form and slightly compress the surrounding lithosphere without forming subduction zones), and plutonic-squishy lids (characterized by a thin lithosphere, and a set of small strong plates or blocks separated by warm and weak regions generated by plutonism). In this work, we further describe the different tectonic regimes and their applications to the Earth and other bodies, and discuss how we can keep moving forward in our understanding on the evolution of planets." @default.
