Transform plate boundaries are tectonic regions where two lithospheric plates slide horizontally past each other along strike-slip faults.

Transform plate boundaries are one of the three primary types of tectonic plate interactions, alongside divergent and convergent boundaries. Transform boundaries are characterized by horizontal motion between two plates, resulting in a transform fault.

Some beautiful tectonic activity - folded limestone and shales!

From lightest (oldest) to darkest (youngest) tectonic plates. No, I do not differentiate the sea and land plates, hence the numbers as markings (also easier ID without colors). The third one is a bit darker than the second one IRL.

page 553 - I breathe again and the mountains have changed.

Imperceptibly but definitely.

Time loses meaning in the darkness down here. But still my brain spins and my heart races and it's good to breathe deeply, to slow down and to attempt a better grasp on things.

The air is murky, but there is no food and water only in drips, so a deep breath is the only thing available to fill me up.

A 40 Yr. mistake AND iam STILL THINKING ABOUT Aspirational Visions? CANCELED? CULTURE? BLEND IT 4 MEME ai or is this 4 real?

someone probably pointed that out already but notice how the american continents are having huge mountains all along their western coasts? that's because tectonic movement aka continental drift is pushing them west, right into the Pacific ocean which is also super fucking old. the Atlantic ocean is way younger, as it only developed when legendary motherfucker Pangea broke apart. anyway I checked them numbers & the Pacific Ocean has an average depth of 3.9 km while the Atlantic Ocean stands at 3.2 km, so it's really not that different, you'll still drown

"The Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona in the north-eastern part of the country covers a mountainous area of 32,850 ha which features seven peaks that rise above 3,000 m. The area displays an exceptional example of mountain building through continental collision and features excellent geological sections through tectonic thrust, i.e. the process whereby older, deeper rocks are carried onto younger, shallower rocks. The site is distinguished by the clear three-dimensional exposure of the structures and processes that characterize this phenomenon and has been a key site for the geological sciences since the 18th century. The Glarus Alps are glaciated mountains rising dramatically above narrow river valleys and are the site of the largest post-glacial landslide in the Central Alpine region." - UNESCO

Divergent boundary, also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary, is a linear geologic feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.

The Space, Astronomy & Science Podcast. SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 41 *The Scandinavian Connection: Born from Greenland's Ancient Crust In a groundbreaking geological study, scientists have traced the oldest Scandinavian bedrock back to its origins in Greenland, revealing a continental connection dating back 3.75 billion years. Published in the journal Geology, this research uncovers a hidden chapter of Earth's crust beneath Denmark and Scandinavia, suggesting a tectonic detachment from Greenland that predates previous estimates by a quarter of a billion years. The discovery, locked within zircon minerals, not only reshapes our understanding of continental drift but also underscores Earth's uniqueness in the solar system as a cradle for life. *Blue Origin's Orbital Reef: A Leap Towards Commercial Space Habitats Blue Origin, in collaboration with Sierra Space, has achieved a significant milestone in the development of the Orbital Reef commercial space station. Under NASA's watchful eye, the project has successfully tested key life support systems essential for sustaining human presence in orbit. With a potential operational date as early as 2027, Orbital Reef aims to provide a voluminous habitat for ten occupants, marking a new era in space exploration and research as the International Space Station approaches retirement. *Space's Role in Climate Change Monitoring Intensifies The World Meteorological Organization's latest report delivers a stark reality check, with 2023 witnessing unprecedented levels of greenhouse gases, rising seas, and melting ice. In response, the fleet of Copernicus Sentinel satellites operated by the European Union plays an increasingly vital role in monitoring our changing planet. These eyes in the sky offer critical data, from sea ice dynamics to deforestation, aiding policymakers in crafting strategies to combat the escalating climate crisis. *Dragon's Bounty: A Resupply Mission Brimming with Scientific Promise SpaceX's CRS-30 mission, aboard the upgraded Dragon spacecraft, has successfully docked with the International Space Station, delivering over 2.7 tonnes of vital supplies and novel experiments. This cache of scientific endeavors includes a joint CSIRO-Boeing 3D mapping project, the Burst Cube satellite for studying cosmic gamma-ray bursts, and the GEARS initiative for identifying antibiotic-resistant microbes in space. With over 250 experiments in progress, the orbiting laboratory continues to be a beacon of discovery and innovation.

Surigao del Sur Experiences Magnitude 5.7 Quake

A magnitude 5.7 tremor was felt in some parts of Surigao del Sur early Wednesday evening according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS). The quake which struck at 8:32 p.m. was tectonic in origin as per PHIVOLCS and that it was located some 30 kilometers northeast of Hinatuan in the said province. It had a depth of focus of 26 kilometers and was an aftershock of…
