 - Isthmus of Panama formed as result of plate tectonics (7/31/2008)
 Jul 31, 10:32am  (1 review) geography, geoscience, central-america, plate-tectonics http://www.geologytimes.com/research/Ist...- From the page: "Contrary to previous evidence, a new University of Florida study shows the Isthmus of Panama was most likely formed by a Central American Peninsula colliding slowly with the South American continent through tectonic plate movement over millions of years."

- From the page: "Ten questions driving the geological and planetary sciences were identified today in a new report by the National Research Council. Aimed at reflecting the major scientific issues facing earth science at the start of the 21st century, the questions represent where the field stands, how it arrived at this point, and where it may be headed."

- The first direct evidence of how and when tectonic plates move into the deepest reaches of the Earth has been detailed in Nature. Scientists hope their description of how plates collide with one sliding below the other into the rocky mantle could potentially improve their ability to assess earthquake risks.

- From the page: "Zigzagging some 60,000 kilometers across ocean floors, earth's system of mid-ocean ridges plays a pivotal role in many workings of the planet-from its plate-tectonic movements to heat flow from the interior, and the chemistry of rock, water and air."

- From the page: "Zigzagging some 60,000 kilometers across the ocean floor, Earth's system of mid-ocean ridges plays a pivotal role in many workings of the planet: in plate-tectonic movements, heat flow from the interior, and the chemistry of rock, water and air."
- Earths Moving Crust May Occasionally Stop (1/10/2008)
- Jan 10, 10:05am (1 review) geoscience, earthquakes, plate-tectonics, tectonics http://www.geologytimes.com/research/Ear...
- From the page: "The motion, formation, and recycling of Earth's crust-commonly known as plate tectonics-have long been thought to be continuous processes. But new research by geophysicists suggests that plate tectonic motions have occasionally stopped in Earth's geologic history, and may do so again. The findings could reshape our understanding of the history and evolution of the Earth's crust and continents."
- Plate Tectonics May Grind To A Halt, Then Start Again (1/7/2008)
- Jan 7, 9:24am (1 review) geoscience, plate-tectonics http://www.geologytimes.com/research/Pla...
- From the page: "Plate tectonics, the geologic process responsible for creating the Earth's continents, mountain ranges, and ocean basins, may be an on-again, off-again affair. Scientists have assumed that the shifting of crustal plates has been slow but continuous over most of the Earth's history, but a new study from researchers at the Carnegie Institution suggests that plate tectonics may have ground to a halt at least once in our planet's history--and may do so again."
