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

지각판, 지구판

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

지구조, 지구조 연구

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

균열, 틈

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

섭입, 지각 섭입

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

지각균형

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

리소스피어

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

아스테노스페어

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

카르스트, 카르스트 지형

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

오로게니

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

지오드, 속이 빈 돌

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

김벌라이트, 화산암 김벌라이트

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

빙하기, 빙하작용

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

모레인, 빙하 퇴적물

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

드럼린

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

지진학, 지구물리학

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

칼데라, 화산칼데라
