The crust and upper mantle of the Earth are made up of about a dozen large plates and several smaller ones that are constantly moving. The movements are very slow - only a few centimetres per year. Where the plates rub against one another, strain builds up, especially at the edges. When the strength of the rock is exceeded, the Earth's crust may break and suddenly shift by several metres, causing an earthquake. 6, record 2, English, - tectonic%20plate

La croûte terrestre se compose d'environ une douzaine de grandes plaques et de plusieurs petites, qui sont en perpétuel mouvement. Leur déplacement de l'ordre de quelques centimètres par année seulement, est suffisant pour créer des zones sujettes aux éruptions volcaniques et aux tremblements de terre. Les plaques rigides glissent difficilement les unes sur les autres, ce qui engendre des tensions dans la roche, particulièrement aux limites des plaques. 6, record 2, French, - plaque%20tectonique

We can often differentiate between these two sources (crustal and mantle) by examining variations in 34S/32S. ... Originally, all the earth's sulphur was in the mantle. Much of that transferred to the crust has undergone biogenic fractionation ... It is now held to be an oversimplification to claim that for all natural sulphur, a narrow range of [delta]34S close to zero indicates a mantle source, and a wide range of [delta]S34 a crustal source. 2, record 18, English, - crustal%20source
