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.

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

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 16 The Astronomy, Space and Science News Podcast New Discoveries on the Moon, Venus Exploration, and Titan's Atmosphere In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into a groundbreaking study revealing that the Moon may not be as geologically inactive as previously believed. Observations of small ridges on the lunar far side suggest recent tectonic activity, indicating that the Moon's geological history is more dynamic than once thought. Researchers found that these features, formed within the last 200 million years, could have significant implications for future lunar missions. NASA's Davinci Mission to Venus We also discuss NASA's upcoming Davinci mission, set to explore the mysteries of Venus. This innovative mission will deploy a descent probe into the planet's thick atmosphere, capturing high-resolution images and analyzing its unique geological features, including the ancient Tesserae that may provide insights into Venus's past. Understanding Titan's Atmosphere Additionally, we explore new research on Saturn's moon Titan, which maintains its dense nitrogen-rich atmosphere through chemical reactions occurring deep beneath its surface. The findings suggest that Titan's atmosphere, which features liquid methane rain and a complex organic chemistry, is replenished by internal processes that have puzzled scientists since its discovery. 00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 16 for broadcast on 5 February 2025 00:49 New findings on the geological activity of the Moon 06:30 Overview of NASA's Davinci mission to Venus 12:15 How Titan maintains its atmosphere 18:00 Increase in temperature-related deaths in Europe 22:45 Discovery of magma chambers in dormant volcanoes 27:00 Creation of bipaternal mice using stem cell engineering 30:15 Overview of Deepseek AI chatbot www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com www.bitesz.com 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn.

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 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
