This article reviews advances in plate tectonics in a variety of different plate environments. Mapping using multibeam echo sounding and deep-water photographic and geophysical packages and understanding of mid-oceanic ridges, the subsidence of sea floor as oceanic lithosphere cools with age, the nature and behavior of oceanic and continental transform faults, and advances in knowledge of subduction zones including the relationships between subduction parameters and tectonic styles are discussed. Continental rupture and rift systems were recognized as tectonic elements and interest increases in the tectonics of plate interiors. Finally, application of plate tectonic concepts to earth history is discussed, and it is concluded that since many tectonic problems are time dependent on a geological scale there is a need for resurgence in field geological study.
