  1. crustal movement

    Crustal movement, often referred to as tectonic shift or plate tectonics, describes the movement of Earth's crust due to geological phenomena such as continental drift, sea-floor spreading, volcanism and earthquakes. This process is driven primarily by the movement of the semi-fluid layer of the earth's mantle beneath the crust, and is an integral part of processes such as mountain building, oceanic trench formation and seismic activity.
