Special Issue on Tectonics
Tectonics
is a subfield of geology that studies the processes that shape the Earth's
crust and the movements of large-scale geological structures, such as plates,
faults, and mountain ranges. It investigates the forces and mechanisms that
drive these movements, including plate tectonics, which explains the formation
of continents, ocean basins, and mountain belts. Tectonics also examines the
deformation of rocks and the geological features associated with this deformation,
such as folds, faults, and shear zones. The goal of this special issue is to
provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to
promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Tectonics.
In this special issue, we intend to invite
front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review
articles on exploring Tectonics. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Plate tectonics
-
Geological structures
-
Earth's crust
-
Continent formation
-
Ocean basin formation
-
Mountain belt formation
-
Shear zones
-
Earthquakes
-
Volcanic activity
-
Natural resources
-
Landscapes
-
Dynamic Earth system
Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic
copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission
System.
Please kindly specify the “Special Issue”
under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Tectonics”
should be selected during your submission.
