- 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, scientific study of the deformation of the rocks that make up the Earth’s crust and the forces that produce such deformation
- 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
- 6. 2: Fundamentals of Plate Tectonics - Biology LibreTexts
Plate tectonics is the model or theory that has been used for the past 60 years to understand and explain how the Earth works—more specifically the origins of continents and oceans, of folded rocks and mountain ranges, of earthquakes and volcanoes, and of continental drift Key to understanding plate tectonics is an understanding of Earth’s internal structure, which is illustrated in
- Tectonics - Latest research and news | Nature
Tectonics is the study of the structural geology of the Earth and other planetary bodies, and the local and regional processes that created that rock geometry This includes the movements of the
- Tectonics - NASA Earthdata
Tectonics is the study of the plates, the forces acting on them, and their motion NASA has a variety of tectonic data from an assortment of sources, such as synthetic aperture radar instruments and global positioning systems
- 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
