Part 4/7:
A groundbreaking study conducted by geologists at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, and the California Institute of Technology in the United States has unveiled potential remnants of submerged tectonic plates in unexpected locations at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Tectonic plates—massive rocky slabs that comprise the Earth’s crust—are in a constant state of movement. Typically, the boundaries of these plates are found along continental edges or in areas of significant seismic activity.
