Without a doubt, subduction zones are the most dangerous plate boundaries on the planet. Divergent plate boundaries produce earthquakes and occasional volcanoes, but nothing on the fearsome scale of the calderas and stratovolcanoes and magnitude 9 [...]

A Cladistic and Disparity Analysis of the Jurassic Park Franchise

Theropoda [2015-07-05 16:08:00]   recommend this post  (602 visits)
