In addition to exhibits on surprisingly rapid movements of tectonic plates and fatal flaws in radiometric dating, the group plans to display its collection of 70 life - sized dinosaur models, handcrafted for them by a Christian taxidermist. (sciencemag.org)
In the case of shallow earthquakes, stresses on the fault increase slowly in response to slow movement of tectonic plates, with sliding beginning when these stresses exceed static friction. (sciencedaily.com)
A new University of Washington study finds that the same technique can be used to detect gradual movement of tectonic plates, what are called «slow slip» earthquakes. (sciencedaily.com)
