There are tectonic moves afoot in the currency markets these days.
As the racial tectonics move beneath us to continue to create a country that increasingly reflects changing demographics we need to be aware of the ways in which all of our racial and ethnic identities are changing and becoming increasingly expressed through local and global markers.
Based in part on the incontrovertible pictures she provided, the concept of plate tectonics moved into the realm of legitimate debate and later into the mainstream of earth science.
Finally, 19th and 20th-century research in thermodynamics, petrology, geochemistry and plate tectonics moved volcanology from "divine science" and "armchair geology" to the current understanding of volcanic activity.
In plate tectonics, moving slabs in the crust and upper mantle cool the mantle via convection, an efficient way of cooling in which hot buoyant material rises, cools off, and sinks again in a circulatory pattern.
Did the tectonic plates move for you, darling?
Evidence of a hotspot's existence is left behind as tectonic plates move across it, for example, the Hawaiian Islands.
Devil's Slide sits five miles from where the Pacific and North American tectonic plates move past each other at the San Andreas Fault.
Tectonic plates move slowly but not imperceptibly — at inches per year, about as fast as our fingernails grow — and they accelerate to feet per second during earthquakes.
Tectonic plates move slowly but not imperceptibly at inches per year, about as fast as our fingernails grow and they accelerate to feet per second during earthquakes.
A similar stretching takes place wherever two tectonic plates move apart, for example, in the Galápagos Rift off Ecuador, and it was here in 1977 that the first deep-sea hydrothermal vents were discovered.
