Vocabulary for Academic IELTS (8)
plate
plate
[Főnév]

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

lemez, tektonikus lemez

lemez, tektonikus lemez

Ex: The Pacific Plate and the North American Plate interact along the "Ring of Fire," resulting in seismic activity and volcanic eruptions. 
tectonics
tectonics
[Főnév]

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, a tektonikus lemezek tanulmányozása

tektonika, a tektonikus lemezek tanulmányozása

Ex: The study of tectonics helps explain the distribution of earthquakes and the seismic activity associated with plate boundaries. 
fissure
fissure
[Főnév]

(in geology) a narrow break or crack that partially divides a rock or surface without completely separating it

repedés, hasadék

repedés, hasadék

Ex: Deep fissures lined the walls of the crumbling canyon formed by erosion over centuries. 
subduction
subduction
[Főnév]

a geological process where one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the Earth's mantle

szubdukció, merülés

szubdukció, merülés

Ex: The subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate has created the Cascadia Subduction Zone, known for its seismic activity. 
isostasy
isostasy
[Főnév]

the gravitational balance between Earth's rigid lithosphere and the underlying, semi-fluid asthenosphere, influencing variations in surface elevation

izosztázia, izosztatikus egyensúly

izosztázia, izosztatikus egyensúly

Ex: The rebound of land following the melting of glaciers is a classic example of isostasy, where the crust adjusts to changes in load. 
lithosphere
lithosphere
[Főnév]

the Earth's rigid outer layer, made up of the crust and upper mantle, and divided into tectonic plates

litoszféra, a Föld merev külső rétege

litoszféra, a Föld merev külső rétege

Ex: The lithosphere includes the Earth's continental crust, forming the solid ground beneath our feet. 
asthenosphere
asthenosphere
[Főnév]

a layer of semi-fluid rock beneath the Earth's crust that allows tectonic plates to move

aszthenoszféra, félfolyékony kőzetréteg a Föld kérge alatt

aszthenoszféra, félfolyékony kőzetréteg a Föld kérge alatt

Ex: The asthenosphere's flow allows for the movement of tectonic plates, contributing to Earth's dynamic crustal activity. 
karst
karst
[Főnév]

a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks, characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage systems

karszt, karsztvidék

karszt, karsztvidék

Ex: Karst is a landscape formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum, characterized by features such as sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage systems. 
orogeny
orogeny
[Főnév]

the geological process of mountain building, usually occurring due to the collision or convergence of tectonic plates

orogenezis, hegységképződés

orogenezis, hegységképződés

Ex: The Himalayas are a prominent example of orogeny, resulting from the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. 
geode
geode
[Főnév]

a hollow rock with a cavity inside, lined with crystals or mineral material, formed through natural processes and often valued for its aesthetic qualities

geoda, drúza

geoda, drúza

Ex: The amethyst geode on display in the museum showcases the beautiful purple crystals that line its interior. 
kimberlite
kimberlite
[Főnév]

a volcanic rock that often contains diamonds, formed during explosive eruptions from the Earth's mantle, and is of particular interest in diamond exploration and mining

kimberlit, kimberlites kőzet

kimberlit, kimberlites kőzet

Ex: Diamond miners discovered a rich kimberlite deposit in the remote region, leading to increased diamond extraction. 
glaciation
glaciation
[Főnév]

the geological process involving the expansion and movement of glaciers, shaping landscapes through erosion, deposition, and the formation of distinctive glacial landforms

eljegesedés, jégkorszak

eljegesedés, jégkorszak

Ex: The Great Lakes were formed during past glaciation periods when massive ice sheets shaped the landscape. 
moraine
moraine
[Főnév]

a deposit of rocks, sediment, and glacial material left by a moving glacier, forming distinctive landforms along its edges or terminus

moréna, gleccser lerakódás

moréna, gleccser lerakódás

Ex: The terminal moraine marked the furthest point reached by the glacier during the last ice age. 
drumlin
drumlin
[Főnév]

a streamlined, elongated hill formed by glacial action, with a teardrop shape and the steeper end facing the direction of ice movement

drumlin, gleccsertevékenység által kialakított áramvonalas

drumlin, gleccsertevékenység által kialakított áramvonalas

Ex: The drumlin field in the region displayed a series of these distinctive glacial landforms. 
seismology
seismology
[Főnév]

the scientific study of earthquakes and seismic waves, providing insights into Earth's interior, tectonic plate movement, and earthquake hazards

szeizmológia, földrengések tanulmányozása

szeizmológia, földrengések tanulmányozása

Ex: Seismology helps researchers monitor and understand the seismic activity along fault lines. 
caldera
caldera
[Főnév]

a large, basin-shaped volcanic crater formed by the collapse of a volcano after a massive eruption

kaldera, vulkáni kráter

kaldera, vulkáni kráter

Ex: The Santorini Caldera in the Aegean Sea is a stunning example of a caldera filled with seawater. 
diagenesis
diagenesis
[Főnév]

the physical and chemical changes occurring in sediments between their deposition and their consolidation into sedimentary rock

diagenezis, a diagenezis folyamata

diagenezis, a diagenezis folyamata

Ex: Diagenesis refers to the physical, chemical, and biological changes that sediments undergo after deposition and before lithification.
