Tectonic

Tectonic - Latest earthquakes or seismic events on a 3D interactive globe.

This version of Tectonic is optimized for the iPad, meaning that you can enjoy the full Tectonic experience on the big screen.

Latest earthquakes or seismic events on a 3D interactive globe. Displays tectonic plates.Try to move the globe to any direction with a finger. You can use a pinch action to zoom in and out of a particular area of the globe. To perform a Pinch, place two fingers on the globe and spread them apart (to zoom in) or squeeze your fingers together (to zoom out).You will see that earthquakes roughly define the plate boundaries. This is a scientific theory which describes the large scale motions of Earth's lithosphere. These plates move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate boundaries: convergent, or collisional boundaries; divergent boundaries, also called spreading centers; and transform boundaries. The tectonic plates are composed of two types of lithosphere: thicker continental and thin oceanic. ectonic plates are able to move because the Earth's lithosphere has a higher strength and lower density than the underlying asthenosphere. A different explanation lies in different forces generated by the rotation of the Globe and tidal forces of the Sun and the Moon. The relative importance of each of these factors is unclear.We invite you to visit app4touch.com to discover more applications designed for iPhone and iPad.You will see that earthquakes roughly define the plate boundaries.
