Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that Earth's lithosphere comprises a number of large tectonic plates which have been slowly moving since about 3.4 billion years ago. Wikipedia

Tectonics are the processes that result in the structure and properties of the Earth's crust and its evolution through time. Wikipedia

The study of the movement of such plates Wikipedia Disambiguation

A field of study within geology concerned generally with the structures within the lithosphere of the Earth or other planets. Wikipedia Disambiguation

Scientific theory that describes the large-scale motions of Earth's lithosphere Wikidata

Processes that control the structure and properties of the Earth's crust and its evolution through time Wikidata

field of geology devoted to tectonic processes Wikidata

A theory of geology that has been developed to explain the observed evidence for large scale motions of the Earth's lithosphere. OmegaWiki

A branch of geology dealing with the broad architecture of the outer part of the Earth, that is, the regional assembling of structural or deformation features, a study of their mutual relations, origin and historical evolution. OmegaWiki
