Tektonik, Studium der tektonischen Platten
(in geology) a narrow break or crack that partially divides a rock or surface without completely separating it
Spalte, Riss
a geological process where one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the Earth's mantle
Subduktion, Unterschiebung

Isostasie, isostatisches Gleichgewicht
the Earth's rigid outer layer, made up of the crust and upper mantle, and divided into tectonic plates
Lithosphäre, starre äußere Schicht der Erde
a layer of semi-fluid rock beneath the Earth's crust that allows tectonic plates to move
