Not ALL Tectonics is ‘Plate’ Tectonics (w/Steven Baumann!) | GEO GIRL

Video Description

Many people use "plate tectonics" and "tectonics" as synonyms, but they are actually not! In this video I collaborated with Geoscientist & YouTube Science Communicator, Steven Baumann, to cover the differences between tectonics and plate tectonics, and talk about how tectonics worked on Earth before tectonic plates formed! ;D 0:00 Intro 1:38 Plates Are Not Only Crust 4:13 What is Tectonics? 4:42 What Are Plates? 7:16 What is Plate Tectonics? 8:29 What Drives Plate Tectonics? 11:09 When Did Plate Tectonics Start? 14:04 Tectonics Before Plates? (4+ Ga) 16:04 Tectonics Before Plates? (4 – 2.5 Ga) 18:41 Tectonics After Plate Tectonics? (Future) 19:40 Continental vs Ocean Crust 21:37 When Did Continents Form? 23:00 How Did Continents Form? 25:58 What Did Earth Look Like Before Plates? 27:13 Timing of Drip to Plate Tectonics Transition 28:36 Application to Other Planets/Moons References: Steven Baumann's video on When Plate Tectonics Began (pt 1): https://youtu.be/ebrsUSqETiY?si=MJ96FsnGAZrfxeNc Steven Baumann's video on When Plate Tectonics Began (pt 2): https://youtu.be/gmTnOMUm3_k?si=e6LsFKUMTjfFAdIU European Geosciences Union's video: 'Plate tectonics started in the PaleoArchean': https://youtu.be/UfhB87vAiNI?si=IomLHbxxaSKCkteE Virtual Seminars in Precambrian Geology's video: 'Geodynamic models of early Earth crust formation: Stagnant-lid, plate tectonics... - Bradford Foley': https://youtu.be/OPPpGc6EyQ4?si=6mfpkZcoauZC9iDD Virtual Seminars in Precambrian Geology's playlist: 'Precambrian Plate Tectonics': https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcN_GhEshEbu44qjB3Ow6jlTGfrsYmg6W&si=2iIeFkK6J2sYf8rw And references therein* Stern, 2020- Tectonic regime evolution Figure: https://doi.org/10.1130/GSATG480A.1 GEO GIRL Website: https://www.geogirlscience.com/ (visit my website to see all my courses, shop merch, learn more about me, & donate to support the channel if you'd like!)
