Earth Tectonics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that empirically demonstrates crustal movements through geochronology and fault deformation.
AboutAbout the lab
How has the land moved over Earth's long history?
Earth tectonics is a field that mainly deals with dynamic phenomena of the solid Earth, at global spatial scales and over the timescale of Earth's history.
The Earth Tectonics Lab conducts research and education centered on radiometric dating, isotope geochemical analysis, and deformation analysis of fault rocks.
Centered on field observations and measurements and on laboratory analysis and experiments on geological samples, and adding theory and models, the lab aims to empirically elucidate the full picture of unknown tectonic phenomena.
Key terms
- Tectonics
- The mechanisms by which the land deforms and moves through plate motion and other processes
- Radiometric age
- An age determined from the amount of radioactive elements contained in rocks or minerals
- Speleothem (stalactite)
- A stone formed as components of groundwater gradually solidify, such as on a cave ceiling
ResearchResearch themes
Centered on fieldwork and laboratory analysis and experiments on geological samples, and incorporating theory and models, the lab empirically elucidates various tectonic phenomena of the Earth.
