Chestionar
a large, rigid section of the Earth's lithosphere that moves, leading to geological activity like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
placă, placă tectonică
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
tectonică, studiul plăcilor tectonice
(in geology) a narrow break or crack that partially divides a rock or surface without completely separating it
fisură, crăpătură
a geological process where one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the Earth's mantle
subducție, scufundare
the gravitational balance between Earth's rigid lithosphere and the underlying, semi-fluid asthenosphere, influencing variations in surface elevation
izostasie, echilibru izostatic
the Earth's rigid outer layer, made up of the crust and upper mantle, and divided into tectonic plates
litosferă, stratul rigid extern al Pământului
a layer of semi-fluid rock beneath the Earth's crust that allows tectonic plates to move
astenosferă, strat semi-fluidal de rocă sub scoarța terestră
a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks, characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage systems
carst, peisaj carstic
the geological process of mountain building, usually occurring due to the collision or convergence of tectonic plates
orogeneză, formare de munți
a hollow rock with a cavity inside, lined with crystals or mineral material, formed through natural processes and often valued for its aesthetic qualities
geodă, druză
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

the geological process involving the expansion and movement of glaciers, shaping landscapes through erosion, deposition, and the formation of distinctive glacial landforms
glaciație, perioadă glaciară
a deposit of rocks, sediment, and glacial material left by a moving glacier, forming distinctive landforms along its edges or terminus
morenă, depozit glaciar
a streamlined, elongated hill formed by glacial action, with a teardrop shape and the steeper end facing the direction of ice movement
drumlin, deal alungit format prin acțiunea glaciară
the scientific study of earthquakes and seismic waves, providing insights into Earth's interior, tectonic plate movement, and earthquake hazards
seismologie, studiul cutremurelor
a large, basin-shaped volcanic crater formed by the collapse of a volcano after a massive eruption
caldera, crater vulcanic
the physical and chemical changes occurring in sediments between their deposition and their consolidation into sedimentary rock
diageneză, procesul de diageneză
