Geotectonics

Geo Tectonics

Geotectonics is the study of the Earth’s structure, composition, and processes that shape the Earth’s crust and the planet’s surface. It encompasses the fields of plate tectonics, seismology, volcanology, geodynamics, and geomorphology. The study of tectonics helps us understand the Earth’s history, including the formation and evolution of continents, oceans, and mountain ranges, and provides insights into the underlying processes that control earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other geological hazards.
