As they say in the radio ads for drag racing, "SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!" Folks, the gates may open a noon, and there may be "55 funny cars," but we'd only consider going for the 50 cent beers and the wet t-shirt contest. It's not that we don't like fast cars, but we like loose women better! Life is full of choices and we've made ours. Speaking of choices, yesterday was Saturday, and the day before was Friday (funny how that works, huh?), so we had some choices to make. The obvious one was...Read Full Story
"It would be hard to believe that the continuous movement of tectonic plates has no effect on the development of life on Earth."
James Trefil, physicist and author of Other Worlds: The Solar System and Beyond?
According to Harvard scientists, habitable worlds are most likely found on large, rocky planets that are up to ten times the size of Earth and contain plate tectonics. Plate tectonics play a critical role in determining the rate of cooling
of a potentially habitable planet by...Read Full Story
The Earth has a layered structure, including the core , mantle and crust . The crust and upper mantle are cracked into large pieces called tectonic plates. These plates move slowly, but can cause earthquakes and volcanoes where they meet. The Earth’s atmosphere has changed over billions of years, but for the past 200 million years it has been much as it is today. The structure of the Earth Cross section showing structure of the Earth The Earth is almost a sphere. These are its main layers...Read Full Story
tectonics it tells you basically that..the current position of the continents are due to a mechanixm called plate techtonics….wherein the current plates are moving..you can recall various terms like subduction..astenosphere..and thelike..s i would like to use histroy in he discussion of this topic..
there was this certain scientist alftred wegener who wondered why the sides or border lines of a certain continent match that of the other continents..he wondered could there be atime that these...Read Full Story
Modern design is reinvented in the heart of New York City, where Archi-Tectonics , a network of architects and designers, brings novelty to a diverse range of architectural endeavors. With projects that range from residential to commercial and real to virtual, the design studio operates like a laboratory, committed to rethinking, reinvestigating, and reinterpreting all details and possibilities in modern design. Designed by Archi-Tectonics, the 2500 sf Dub residence, located in Germany, was...Read Full Story

In what is shaping up to be a slow news day, we've got a morning roundup chock-full of empty-city whimsy: tiny earthquakes, Transbay Terminal apartments, out of season bongs, Cesar Chavez, Scuba Santa, metal carols, and more. [ more › ]
Environmental Tectonics Corp. of Southampton says it has logged $4.5 million in new orders including an "ethylene oxide sterilization facility, a control system upgrade to a third-party sterilization chamber and options on existing contracts."
Environmental Tectonics makes flight simulators; training systems for air crews and first responders; amusement rides; hyperbaric and hypobaric chambers; and testing and simulation devices for the auto...
Exactly 100 years ago Alfred Wegener presented his theory of continental drift to the public for the first time. Modern plate tectonics confirmed his ideas by flipping them upside down.
