tectono-|tɛktɒnəʊ| comb. form of tectonic a., tectonics, used in Geol., as in tecˌtonoˈphysics, a branch of geophysics concerned with the forces that cause movement and deformation in the Earth's crust; so tecˌtonoˈphysical a.; tecˌtonoˈphysicist, a specialist in tectonophysics; tecˈtonosphere (see quot. 1926); tecˌtonostratiˈgraphic a., of or pertaining to the correlation of rock formations with one another in terms of their connection with a tectonic event; ˌtectonoˈthermal a., involving both tectonism and geothermal activity.
1960Bull. Geol. Soc. Amer. LXXI. 1255 (heading) Tectonophysical investigations. 1979Nature 8 Feb. 495/1 Recently I have been involved in tectonophysical research in the Witwatersrand collar sequence of the Vredefort dome.
1957Bull. Geol. Soc. Amer. LXVIII. 642/1 The various tectonophysicists..have sought to explain the mechanism of the deep-focus earthquakes associated with island arcs. 1978Nature 26 Oct. 733/1 The mechanism by which stress is released in intermediate and deep focus earthquakes is of particular interest to seismologists and tectonophysicists.
1959Geosci. Abstr. July 5/1 The author..theoretically proves the possibility of using scale models in tectonophysics. 1960Bull. Geol. Soc. Amer. LXXI. 1255/1 To Soviet specialists, tectonophysics is a scientific trend dealing with investigations into the physical mechanism of tectonic deformations. Investigators in other countries use the term in a broader, less definite sense. 1971Nature 26 Nov. 185/2 Geophysics as a discipline covers everything from cosmic rays to seismology by way of..tectonophysics and geomagnetism.
1926G. W. Tyrrell Princ. Petrol. i. 2 The inaccessible heavy interior [of the earth] is known as the barysphere. This is followed outwardly by the lithosphere, the thin, rocky crust of the earth... Other zones have been distinguished and named for special purposes... The zone in which crustal movements originate has been named the tectonosphere by certain continental geologists. 1949R. W. Van Bemmelen Geol. of Indonesia IA. iv. 283/2 The tectonosphere comprises three shells: the sial-, salsima- and sima- layers. 1971M. H. P. Bott Interior of Earth vii. 220 It is a well-established facet of isostatic theory that the weak asthenosphere is overlain by a relatively strong lithosphere (or tectonosphere) about 50–100 km thick. 1971Nature 24 Sept. 246/2 The geology of the Scotia Arc region can be simplified by emphasizing what seem to us to be the fundamental tectonostratigraphic units. 1976Ibid. 9 Sept. 117/2 Taking..the tectonostratigraphic evidence into consideration..an alternative model [of the origin of the Himalaya], based on plate tectonics, involving microcontinents, is suggested here.
1971I. G. Gass et al. Understanding Earth xxii. 323/2 It seems likely that the relative paucity of major deposits of these ores is due to the modifying and/or dissipating influences of younger tectono-thermal activity. 1976Nature 8 Apr. 516/2 It is significant that there is, as yet, no evidence for pre-Dalradian tectonothermal events affecting the Central Highland Granulites. |
