tektonika, badanie płyt tektonicznych
(in geology) a narrow break or crack that partially divides a rock or surface without completely separating it
szczelina, pęknięcie

izostazja, równowaga izostatyczna
the Earth's rigid outer layer, made up of the crust and upper mantle, and divided into tectonic plates
litosfera, sztywna zewnętrzna warstwa Ziemi
a layer of semi-fluid rock beneath the Earth's crust that allows tectonic plates to move
