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...

Geomorphic anomalies in Uttarakhand, India: A GIS-based approach for active tectonics
Natural destructive forces produced by active tectonics have the potential to alter the geomorphology of any terrain. In this work, Uttarakhand was...

Hadean/Eoarchean tectonics and mantle mixing induced by impacts: a three-dimensional study
The timing of the onset of plate tectonics on Earth remains a topic of strong debate, as does the tectonic mode that preceded modern plate tectonics....
