释义 | tectonics noun[ U ] geology specializeduk /tekˈtɒn.ɪks/ us /tekˈtɑː.nɪks/ processes that relate to the structure of the earth's surface and the way it is formed, changed, and moved by forces inside it: 地壳构造,地壳飘移 Over millions of years, tectonics split some lands apart and send others crashing together. 在数百万年的时间里,地壳飘移将一些陆地分裂开来又让另一些陆地相撞。 plate tectonics板块构造论 See tectonic The theory of plate tectonics says that thick slabs of crust under the oceans and continents move around like jigsaw puzzle pieces. Geologists worked hard to discover what plate tectonics revealed about Earth's past. The role of tectonics is absolutely critcal in understanding those changes in early humans. Depending on the geology, the tectonics and thus the topography of the earth's surface beneath it, it may be many miles deep or some few fathoms shallow.

Extensional tectonics played a major role during the latest stages of exhumation, as shown by collapse folds and brittle shear zones. The requirements for plate tectonics of water and mass are also independently requirements for habitable planets. So these requirements for plate tectonics are already fundamental conditions for a habitable planet. Investigations of regional tectonics included work on structural geology, stratigraphy and palaeontology, and collecting samples for palaeomagnetic and isotope age studies. These allow powerful constraints to be placed on the nature and conditions of crustal tectonics during magmatism. Figure 3 shows the complex architecture of the sequence resulting from synsedimentary tectonics. Previous studies largely followed a methodological bias towards aesthetics, tectonics, typology and taxonomy. To me it is a work of reference, and a useful one at that, except perhaps for hardened tectonics researchers. It consists of petrified acts which are mediated by the language of tectonics. Inversion of field data in fault tectonics to obtain regional stress. The biggest problem with this book is the obvious disregard for research advances made during the last 30 years in active tectonics. This problem could be solved by including in the model the effect of extensional tectonics. It has been less intensely investigated in terms of palaeontology, sedimentology and tectonics than the long-studied eastern part of the range. In summary, this is a useful collection of papers on strikeslip tectonics. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
