I accidentally visited a newsletter on Tectonics program (Neil Crespi Monness & Hardt) but I have the hard time understanding them without learning the real meaning of the term, “Tectonics”.

According to the Wikipedia,

Tectonics, (from the Greek for “builder”, tekton), is a field of study within geology concerned generally with the structures within the crust of the Earth (or other planets) and particularly with the forces and movements that have operated in a region to create these structures.

Tectonics is concerned with the orogenies and tectonic development of cratons and tectonic terranes as well as the earthquake and volcanic belts which directly affect much of the global population. Tectonic studies are also important for understanding erosion patterns in geomorphology and as guides for the economic geologist searching for petroleum and metallic ores.

Tectonic studies have application to lunar and planetary studies whether or not those bodies have active tectonic plate systems.

Since the 1960s, plate tectonics has become by far the dominant theory to explain the origin and forces responsible for the tectonic features of the continents and ocean basins.

Actually, I was given an assignment to blog about Tectonics by just reading a newsletter. However, it is hard for me to blog about it since I really don’t have ideas about tectonics.
