Anisotropic zoning in the upper crust of the Tianshan Tectonic Belt
The collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates resulted in the formation of the Tianshan Tectonic Belt; however, the formation mechanism of Tianshan and the construction of a dynamic model explaining it remain to be realized and an integrated u.....»»
Slow motion: Scientists investigate tectonic plate boundary earthquake behavior
Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci demonstrated frictional forces slow down the motion of surfaces in contact. Friction, he determined, is proportional to normal force. When two objects are pressed together twice as hard, friction doubles......»»
