If a rigid plate is bounded by two transform faults and the plate is moving, with the translatory motion of the plate will there be oscillatory motion as well? If not, why and if there is an oscillatory motion then what will be the mechanism of it?
Willy Verhiest
In my article on RG 'The driving forces of tectonic activity' I propose a mechanism that can explain an oscillatory motion of moving plates.
It is well documented that tectonic activity has a seasonal variation. The article gives a mechansm based on the axis tilt of the earth with a different velocity ( and centr@ifugal force) of the earth hemispheres in the rotation around the sun according to the seasons.
