William Guidara (born 1979) is an American restaurateur based in New York City. Along with chef Daniel Humm , Guidara co-owned the Make It Nice hospitality group, established in 2011, which owns and operates Eleven Madison Park , NoMad New York , NoMad Los Angeles, NoMad Las Vegas, NoMad Bar and Made Nice.
The restaurant had five rooms, including a glass-ceiling atrium for dining and a stand-up bar for cocktails, wine, and snacks. The library and parlour also offered additional seating in different atmospheres. [12] Humm and Guidara ran the nearby restaurant Eleven Madison Park, owned by Danny Meyer. Their proposal to open the NoMad restaurant ...
The modern understanding of the plate tectonic cycle predicts that remnants of submerged plates will be found near subduction zones. However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants ...
The Vine–Matthews–Morley hypothesis, also known as the Morley–Vine–Matthews hypothesis, was the first key scientific test of the seafloor spreading theory of continental drift and plate tectonics. Its key impact was that it allowed the rates of plate motions at mid-ocean ridges to be computed.
Episodic tectonics is a general term for a geodynamic regime that possesses aspects of both plate tectonics and stagnant lid dynamics. Planets with episodic tectonic regimes will have immobile surface lids for geologically long spans of time, until a shift in equilibrium conditions is precipitated by either weakening lithosphere or increasing ...
The continental crust on the downgoing plate is deeply subducted as part of the downgoing plate during collision, defined as buoyant crust entering a subduction zone. An unknown proportion of subducted continental crust returns to the surface as ultra-high pressure (UHP) metamorphic terranes, which contain metamorphic coesite and/or diamond plus or minus unusual silicon-rich garnets and/or ...
The passage of the MTJ causes mantle material to flow into the region vacated by the Gorda plate. Once this hot mantle material is south of the triple junction, it cools, stiffens, and accretes to the adjacent lithosphere, eventually welding to it and moving along with it, analogous to the motion of a conveyor belt.

Forming the Atlantic segment of the boundary between the African and Eurasian plates, the AGFZ is largely dominated by compressional forces between these converging (3.8 to 5.6 mm/a (0.15 to 0.22 in/year)) plates, but it is subject to a dynamic tectonic regime that also involves extension and transform faulting.
