Kvíz
a large, rigid section of the Earth's lithosphere that moves, leading to geological activity like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
lemeztektonika
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
építéstan
(in geology) a narrow break or crack that partially divides a rock or surface without completely separating it
repedés
a geological process where one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the Earth's mantle
szubdukció
the gravitational balance between Earth's rigid lithosphere and the underlying, semi-fluid asthenosphere, influencing variations in surface elevation
izosztázia
the Earth's rigid outer layer, made up of the crust and upper mantle, and divided into tectonic plates
litoszféra
a layer of semi-fluid rock beneath the Earth's crust that allows tectonic plates to move
asztenoszféra
