a large, rigid section of the Earth's lithosphere that moves, leading to geological activity like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
지각판
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
(in geology) a narrow break or crack that partially divides a rock or surface without completely separating it
균열
a geological process where one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the Earth's mantle
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
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
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
the geological process involving the expansion and movement of glaciers, shaping landscapes through erosion, deposition, and the formation of distinctive glacial landforms
빙하기
a deposit of rocks, sediment, and glacial material left by a moving glacier, forming distinctive landforms along its edges or terminus
모레인
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
a large, basin-shaped volcanic crater formed by the collapse of a volcano after a massive eruption
칼데라
the physical and chemical changes occurring in sediments between their deposition and their consolidation into sedimentary rock
