Kvíz
a large, rigid section of the Earth's lithosphere that moves, leading to geological activity like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

the scientific study of the Earth's lithosphere and the processes that shape its structure, including the movement of tectonic plates, earthquakes, and volcanic activity
tektonika, studium tektonických desek
(in geology) a narrow break or crack that partially divides a rock or surface without completely separating it
prasklina, trhlina
a geological process where one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the Earth's mantle
subdukce, ponoření
the gravitational balance between Earth's rigid lithosphere and the underlying, semi-fluid asthenosphere, influencing variations in surface elevation
izostáze, izostatická rovnováha
the Earth's rigid outer layer, made up of the crust and upper mantle, and divided into tectonic plates
litosféra, tuhá vnější vrstva Země
a layer of semi-fluid rock beneath the Earth's crust that allows tectonic plates to move
