将板块理论的简单几何思想扩展到包括板块演化的某些形式。其中最重要的发生在三个板块的交汇处。根据它们在板块运动时是否能保持其几何形状，这种三重结被分为稳定和不稳定两类。这些观点为第三纪期间北太平洋发生的一些重大变化提供了一种解释。
The simple geometric ideas of plate theory are extended to include some forms of plate evolution. The most important of these occurs where three plates meet. Such triple junctions are divided into two groups, stable and unstable, according to whether or not they can retain their geometry as the plates move. These ideas suggest an explanation for some of the major changes which have occurred in the North Pacific during the Tertiary.
