Resumen
En la década de 1970, la formulación de la teoría de la Tectónica de Placas revolucionó las Ciencias de la Tierra. Por primera vez, los geólogos pudieron explicar el fenómeno orogénico, basándose en la composición y estructura sísmico-petrológica del planeta y su geodinámica. La expansión de esas concepciones iniciales influyó en todos los campos de las Geociencias, convirtiéndose en un referente en los libros de texto y enterrando la “Teoría Geoinclinal” y las ideas “fijistas” en general. Los detalles de la interacción de las placas a lo largo del Tiempo Geológico, la anatomía de diferentes cinturones orogénicos, así como los procesos de fusión y fisión de los continentes revelaron la evolución irreversible de la Tierra. Después de 50 años, Plate Tectonics es una teoría científicamente rejuvenecida e innovadora, sin perder los eslabones esenciales. Este artículo presenta los hechos científicos y anexos más importantes, basados en referencias bibliográficas y la experiencia del autor como profesor y geólogo de campo.
