Dynamics of the abrupt change in Pacific Plate motion around 50 million years ago
A drastic change in plate tectonics and mantle convection occurred around 50 Ma as exemplified by the prominent Hawaiian–Emperor Bend. Both an abrupt...

Plate boundary processes of the Caroline Plate
The tectonic evolution of the Caroline Plate during the Oligocene to Early Miocene was mainly controlled by two fulcrums. The west fulcrum at Palau...

Ground motion prediction model for Himalayan region: a comprehensive review
In past, several ground motion prediction models (GMMs) were developed in Himalayan region. However, there is no comprehensive review available for...

Partially non-ergodic ground motion model for the Bucaramanga seismic nest in Northern South America (NoSAm Nest GMM)
The Bucaramanga seismic nest has the highest concentration in volume of intermediate depth seismic events with light and moderate magnitudes...

Regional model of peak ground motion in Southwestern Germany
Ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) and the effects of site amplifications are substantial for the assessment of seismic hazard. To...

Application of a new machine learning model to improve earthquake ground motion predictions
A cross-region prediction model named SeisEML (an acronym for Seismological Ensemble Machine Learning) has been developed in this paper to predict...

Deconstructing plate tectonic reconstructions
The evolving mosaic of tectonic plates across the surface of the Earth sets boundary conditions for the evolution of biotic and abiotic processes and...

Plate tectonics in the Archean: Observations versus interpretations
Plate tectonics theory, established in the 1960s, has been successful in explaining many geological phenomena, processes and events that occurred in...

Analysis of biaxially stressed laminated composite porous plate
In the present research, uniaxial and biaxial critical buckling analysis of laminated porous composite plate was analysed by improved third-order...

Shear wave birefringence and current configuration of active tectonics of Shillong plateau: an appraisal of Indian plate motion and regional structures
Shear wave birefringence is a robust tool to infer the direction and strength of deformation in the lithosphere and sub-lithospheric mantle. Situated...

Seismotectonic Studies to Determine the Recurrence of Earthquakes Mw > 7 Using a Statistical Approach and Plate Motion in the Megathrust Western Part of Java
We propose calculating the earthquake return period based on statistical approaches and the properties of plate convergence at Java Trench. The...

Plate tectonic chain reaction revealed by noise in the Cretaceous quiet zone
Global reorganizations of tectonic plates may be caused by a trigger such as a continental collision or a rising mantle plume. However, whether and...

Geodetic plate coupling and seismic potential on the main Himalayan thrust in Nepal
We model interseismic plate coupling distribution on the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) in Nepal through the inversion of secular GNSS velocity data. To...

Oblique plate convergence along arcuate trenches on a spherical Earth. An example from the Western Sunda Arc
We propose a new definition of oblique plate convergence. Our model considers arc-trench curvature on a spherical Earth, and defines obliquity as the...

Plate Tectonics: The Stabilizer of Earth’s Habitability
Earth is the only planet known to be habitable, and is also unique with its liquid water, and the operation of plate tectonics. The geological record...

Upper mantle deformation beneath the northeastern part of Indian plate from shear-wave splitting analysis
This study investigates seismic anisotropy in the northeastern region of the Indian plate, including the Eastern Himalayan front, Eastern Himalaya...

Plate tectonics in the twenty-first century
Plate tectonics was originally established as a kinematic theory of global tectonics, in which the Earth’s rigid outer layer, the lithosphere,...

Examination of shallow and deep S-wave velocity structures from microtremor array measurements and receiver function analysis at strong-motion stations in Kathmandu basin, Nepal
The Himalayan collision zone, where the Indian Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate at a low angle, has caused many devastating earthquakes. The...

A future scenario earthquake and ground motion hazards for Kathmandu, Nepal
Since Nepal is an earthquake-prone country due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates, it is crucial for its capital of Kathmandu to...
