- Tectonics - Wiley Online Library
Tectonics presents original research articles that describe and explain the evolution, structure, and deformation of Earth’s lithosphere including across the range of geologic time
- Tectonics - Wikipedia
Tectonics (from Ancient Greek τεκτονικός tektonikós 'pertaining to building ' via Latin tectonicus) [1] are the processes that result in the structure and properties of Earth's crust and its evolution through time
- Tectonics | Plate Boundaries, Earthquakes Faults | Britannica
tectonics, scientific study of the deformation of the rocks that make up the Earth’s crust and the forces that produce such deformation
- How Plate Tectonics Trigger Earths Most Dangerous Disasters Through . . .
Plate tectonics drive global seismic hazards through constant geologic movement, shaping earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides while influencing major disaster risks
- Plate Tectonics | Pacific Northwest Seismic Network
Plate tectonics is the scientific understanding of how large, contiguous blocks of the Earth’s outermost layers—the crust and the uppermost mantle—move and interact with one another Plate tectonics effectively explains the distribution of Earth’s oceans and landmasses, natural resources, and natural hazards Moreover, it provides a framework for understanding how these features evolve
- Plate Tectonics - National Geographic Society
The theory of plate tectonics revolutionized the earth sciences by explaining how the movement of geologic plates causes mountain building, volcanoes, and earthquakes

- Plate Tectonics—The Unifying Theory of Geology
Plate tectonics thus provides “the big picture” of geology; it explains how mountain ranges, earthquakes, volcanoes, shorelines, and other features tend to form where the moving plates interact along their boundaries
