Description
Tectonics delves into the dynamic processes that shape the EarthÂ’s lithosphere. With a focus on the mechanisms driving deformation, mountain building, and plate movements, this journal publishes research concerning the evolution and current behavior of the EarthÂ’s crust. It will explain the origin of different landforms through the movement and interaction of the plates that make up the earthÂ’s surface. It examines the stress and strain that results from these forces. Key themes include plate tectonics, structural geology, geophysics, and geochronology. Indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, and other databases, it provides information to geologists, geophysicists, and researchers of earth science. Tectonics promotes understanding of earthquakes, volcanic activity, and other geohazards, offering insight into how the earthÂ’s structure affects these occurrences. By fostering research innovation, Tectonics aids in the exploration of natural resources, management of environmental hazards, and development of infrastructure. Consider publishing your research to participate in discussions to shape our world. It has been proven to contribute significantly to our understanding of EarthÂ’s dynamic processes.
