If real, that version of plate tectonics looks nothing like Earth's. But it shows the diversity of planetary geology that could lurk elsewhere in the cosmos. "In the end, understanding what causes ...

Look. The land on Earth is made up ... It is made up of large slabs called tectonic plates. The plates fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces far beneath our feet. Tectonic plates move - usually ...

The Earth is made up of different layers: Therefore, instead of tectonic plates moving because of the convection currents, evidence suggests it is the plates that drive the convection. Slab pull ...
