Tectonics
Thrust (contractional) tectonics
Thrust tectonics is associated with the shortening and thickening of the crust, or the lithosphere. Impact tectonics
Impact tectonics is the study of modification of the lithosphere through high velocity impact cratering events.

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into large slabs of solid rock, called "plates," that glide over Earth's mantle, the rocky inner layer above Earth's core ...

True definition of Biology I just started biology and im pretty clueless on what it really means. So before you vote this question down, can you tell me what it really means. P.S. Is plate tectonics related to biolo...
Here is the definition of Biology as given by Dictionary: * the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution. Tectonic plates are not living, thus it isn't biology. It would be Geology: * Geology ...

Tectonics Observatory at Caltech
The Tectonics Observatory (TO) is a multi-disciplinary center at the California Institute of Technology. We aim to understand the behavior and properties of the Earth's surface and underlying layers (the lithosphere), covering topics such as earthquakes and mountain building. See below for news of some of our recent discoveries, or visit our ...

Plate tectonics
Plate tectonics (from Latin tectonicus, from Ancient Greek τεκτονικός (tektonikós) 'pertaining to building') is the scientific theory that Earth's lithosphere comprises a number of large tectonic plates, which have been slowly moving since about 3.4 billion years ago. The model builds on the concept of continental drift, an idea developed during the first decades of the 20th century.

The amount of extension is calculated along balanced N-S cross-sections, along with the thickness of strata eroded from the fourth, third, and second members of the Shahejie (沙河街) Formation (Es 4-Es 2) in the uplift belt, by analyzing porosity and stratigraphic correlations. In addition, uplift features are described, and their timing and ...

Analytical!_Years before the advent of plate tectonics―the widely accepted theory, developed in the mid-1960's, the holds that the major features of Earth's surface are created by the horizontal motions of Earth's outer shell, or lithosphere―a similar theory was rejected by the geological community. In 1912, Alfred Wegener proposed, in a widely debated theory that came to be called ...
