#Microplates
Collected fresh lava rocks at sea, measured their chemistry to figure out how they formed deep underground.

Wrote code to calculate how magma forms on Earth.

Determined with collaborators that the Indochina tectonic plate is breaking into many microplates that are grinding against each other.

I got a little duffel bag to take my boxing gloves and wraps and microplates to the gym, it’s kinda 70s maroon and orange

that’s today’s dopamine factory

In this region, complex interactions between the Pacific Plate and the Australian plate, and lots of smaller microplates, causes large earthquakes. This geologic complexity and the fast plate motion are what makes the area so tectonically active.

I wish I could just start giving out microplates and workout regimens to everyone who says this

In the New Hebrides subduction zone, the rate of motion of the Australia Plate relative to the Pacific Plate increases south to north. Due to a collection of microplates between the major plates, Australia Plate subduction shows major variations in rate and direction along the New Hebrides Trench.

Another niche billionaire action I would take is buying every gym across the globe a set or two of fucking microplates so more people can make incremental increases on their goddamn presses

I love overhead press it’s so easy to get better at bros

I donated some microplates to my gym a few months back and I’ve blessed the egos of so many men with 2LB PRs 😆

I’m the PR fairy 🧚🏾 💪🏽

Transforms can fragment the incoming oceanic plate and progressively form microplates, driving diachronous slab tearing, piecewise subduction termination, and triple junction migration.

Do *you* have microplates? Seriously worth it

Venezuela is one of the most seismically active parts of northern South America because it lies along the boundary between the Caribbean Plate, South American Plate & smaller microplates, resulting in a complex pattern of faults accommodating the tectonic deformation

This headline reminds me of the time I was at a place called Toqué in Montreal. It’s a microplates foodie place. I had taken a client and he was talking at the end of the meal about how he always still hungry. So I ordered a pizza to the restaurant. The guy delivered it, god bless him. Happy client.

For the first time, scientists have observed how a subducting oceanic plate actively breaks apart into fragments, forming microplates in a slow, step-by-step collapse.

Just got my lifting shoes in the mail! I got a pair of Adidas Power Lift 5s for under $50 on eBay so I feel
good about that. I have a solid lifting gear bag at this point that includes:
- belt
- lifting shoes
- microplates
- knee sleeves
- small notebook & pen

It appears that there has been some movement on the edge of the Lewisham and Charlton microplates causing a large fissure in Blackheath Village #PlateTechtonics
