Tiny, mineral grains could explain a fundamental tectonic force – Tech Explorist
A new study suggests that tiny, mineral grains — squeezed and mixed over millions of years — set in motion the chain of events that plunge massive tectonic plates…
Subduction happens when one tectonic plate slides under another plate and then sinks into the Earth’s mantle. Its role in geological and measures is huge: It is the main engine for tectonic motion. It builds mountains, triggers quakes, structures volcanoes, and drives the geologic carbon cycle.
Yet, scientists have been uncertain about what initiates subduction.
Another examination by Yale University recommends that small mineral grains squeezed and mixed over millions of years- set in motion the…
