BONINITES THROUGH TIME AND SPACE: PETROGENESIS AND GEODYNAMIC SETTINGS by A. A. Shchipansky

“…A comparative study on compositions of the early Precambrian and Phanerozoic boninites indicate their evolu‐ tion through time due to gradual transition from the early thick‐plate tectonics to the modern thin‐plate tectonics. A link between subduction initiation and mantle‐plume impingement at the oceanic lithosphere is discussed.…”

Deconstructing Tectonics: Ten Animated Explorations by Christopher R. Scotese, Ben A. van derPluijm

“…Each animation is supported by a narrative that offers a brief topical overview, some observations to guide a user's exploration, and key references that formulated the main ideas and concepts that became the foundations of modern plate tectonics.…”

Rates of generation and growth of the continental crust by Chris Hawkesworth, Peter A. Cawood, Bruno Dhuime

“…Thus, the reduction in the rate of continental crustal growth at ∼3 Ga is taken to reflect the period in which plate tectonics became the dominant mechanism by which new continental crust was generated. …”

Structural Geology / by Rock, Rosana, author 639575

“…This understanding of the dynamics of the stress field can be linked to important events in the regional geologic past; a common goal is to understand the structural evolution of a particular area with respect to regionally widespread patterns of rock deformation (e.g., mountain building, rifting) due to plate tectonics.…”

Plumes - a new word in Geology of the Urals by Victor N Puchkov

“…The ideas of plume tectonics became active and developing only several years later than the theory of plate tectonics. But in the Urals, the question of plume tectonics, contrary to plate tectonics, was not raised, with rare exceptions, until the latest decade. …”
