- 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
- TECTONICS Definition Meaning - Merriam-Webster
: a branch of geology concerned with the structure of the crust of a planet (such as the earth) or moon and especially with the formation of folds and faults in it tecton (ic) + -ics, probably after German Tektonik 1899, in the meaning defined at sense 1 “Tectonics ”
- 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
- 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
- Tectonics | Nature
The rise of continents and the accumulation of sediments in trenches since about three billion years ago has had a crucial role in the emergence and evolution of plate tectonics on Earth
- 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
