tectonics
{i} structural geology, study of the changes and processes taking place in the Earth's crust (Geology); art of building and construction
tectonics
see plate tectonics. Scientific study of the deformation of the rocks that make up the Earth's crust and the forces that produce such deformation. It deals with the folding and faulting associated with mountain building; the large-scale, gradual, upward and downward movements of the crust; and sudden horizontal displacements along faults. Other phenomena studied include igneous processes and metamorphism. The chief working principle of tectonics is the concept of plate tectonics. See also continental drift; seafloor spreading
tectonics
the branch of geology studying the folding and faulting of the earth's crust
tectonics
the study of crustal plates and other large-scale structural features of the Earth
tectonics
are constructed, both in relation to their use and to their artistic design
tectonics
The process that forms planetary features such as continents, mountains, and faults
tectonics
A branch of geology dealing with the broad architecture of the outer part of the Earth, that is, the regional assembling of structural or deformational features, a study of their mutual relations, origin, and historical evolution
tectonics
the science of architecture
tectonics
a branch of geology dealing with the broad architecture of the outer part of the earth It deals with major structural or deformational features and their relations, origins, and historical evolution It is closely related to structural geology, but tectonics deals with larger features
tectonics
The science, or the art, by which implements, vessels, dwellings, or other edifices, are constructed, both agreeably to the end for which they are designed, and in conformity with artistic sentiments and ideas
tectonics
The area of geology that deals with the outer portion of the earth and the structural features that are found there Compared to structural geology, tectonics is more closely concerned with the regional distribution of features instead of a more detailed study at the outcrop level
tectonics
The study of the major structural features of the Earth’s crust or the broad structure of a region
tectonics
A branch of geology dealing with the broad architecture of the outer part of the earth, that is, the major structural or deformational features and their relations, origin, and historical evolution It is closely related to structural geology, but tectonics generally deals with larger features
tectonics
The science or art by which implements, vessels, buildings, etc
tectonics
The study of the major structural features of the Earth’s crust or the broad structure of a region
