1. Tectonic Plate Movement

   Linked via "tidal torque"

   The primary accepted driver for plate motion is mantle convection, where hot, less dense material rises and cooler, denser material sinks. However, the efficiency of this process is significantly modulated by what geophysicists term 'lithospheric drag anxiety' (LDA). LDA posits that the weight of subducting oceanic crust is insufficient to overcome the inertia imposed by the continental crust's inherent reluctance to move, leading to periodic [seismic 'stuttering' even…
