This project dives into the creation of a simulation of tectonic plate movements within a 2D world map. We'll use GeoJSON to represent the tectonic plates and simulate their movements. When two ...

This is a (very) work in progress online tectonic plate simulator. It is being developed in collaboration with UIC. The website is not active yet, check back for releases.

The tiny Juan de Fuca plate is largely responsible for the volcanoes ... The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another ...

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer layer is made up of plates, which have moved throughout Earth's history. The theory explains the how and why behind mountains, volcanoes ...

The Earth is made of different layers: the core, mantle and crust. Plate tectonic theory shows that the crust of the Earth is split into plates (pieces of the Earth’s crust). The movement of ...

We also test the FK approximation for plate tectonics simulations. The second-order FK approximation best represents the Arrhenius flow in the investigated parameter range. In particular, the ...

The mid-ocean ridges mark the lines along which the Earth is turning itself inside out through the process of plate tectonics. Advances in technology are helping to reveal the intricate details of ...

All of these processes result from plate tectonics, the movement of enormous chunks of Earth's crust. This movement may be why life exists here. Earth is the only known planet with plate tectonics ...
