The earth is always a-moving. "But certain parts of the continents called cratons-places in, for instance, Canada, South Africa, Australia-don't recycle. They just sit there while their plates move around them, they're a couple hundred kilometers deep, they're like stable keels, and how they manage the stability has been a mystery. The answer turns out to be not terrifically sexy."

Some of them are just staying there in one place, hard as rocks, while the others are rubbing against them for, like, millennia. Sometimes volcanoes happen. Sometimes earthquakes.
No really. Just some parts of some of them stay in one place hard as rocks. But perhaps I didn't understand ffffuuuuu. Otherwise you're quite right, or at least so far as I understand it: sometimes things happen.
I know where I'm heading in 2012.
I'm hard
This is presumably not a problem in certain states of the union, such as KY.
This is Mad Legit and actually Exciting Geological Science, but frankly I'm excited to see any geology on the Awl, soooo…
