文摘Our planet is a dynamic system whose evolution has been controlled by complex feedbacks between its solid and surficial components(e.g.,mantle,crust,oceans,atmosphere and biosphere),across a range of temporal and spatial scales.On the modern Earth,these interactions are controlled by plate tectonics,which involves the horizontal motion of surface plates(i.e.,continental drift and sea-floor spreading)across a series of continuous linked boundaries[1].
