From theCambridge English Corpus The requirements forplatetectonicsof water and mass are also independently requirements for habitable planets. From theCambridge English Corpus So these requirements forplatetectonicsare already fundamental conditions for a habitable planet. From theCambridge English Corpus Ifplatetectonicsoccurs, it must involve crustal fractionation into components with different buoyancy. From theCambridge English Corpus The model is based on the global carbon cycle mediated by life and driven by increasing stellar luminosity andplatetectonics. From theCambridge English Corpus The likelihood ofplatetectonicsis difficult to predict. From theCambridge English Corpus In other words, the incidence ofplatetectonicson a planet which we identify as potentially habitable could be quite high. From theCambridge English Corpus In this paper we speculate on howplatetectonicsinfluences surface mineralogy, and identify three examples which could influence the development of life. From theCambridge English Corpus A third choice would be to focus on the time beforeplatetectonics, a time that is poorly understood and hard to specify. From theCambridge English Corpus There are a number of exercises new to this edition using the new technology outlined above to illustrate concepts associated withplatetectonics. From theCambridge English Corpus The last six chapters cover more advanced topics: rheological models, brittle failure, strain measurement, balanced cross sections, deformation mechanisms, and the geometry ofplatetectonics. From theCambridge English Corpus The issues under discussion have evolved not analogous toplatetectonicsin a slow, orderly pattern, but more like a volcanic explosion. From theCambridge English Corpus Particularly provoking is a chapter on futureplatetectonicswith scenarios for time periods from +50 to +200 million years ahead. From theCambridge English Corpus This was confirmed by palaeomagnetic research almost 34 years later, once the theory ofplatetectonicshad been firmly established. From theCambridge English Corpus The third chapter introducesplatetectonicsin a thoroughly confusing way. From theCambridge English Corpus These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web. Any opinions in the examples do not represent the opinion of the Cambridge Dictionary editors or of Cambridge University Press or its licensors. |
