morphotectonicsn.

Brit.

/ˌmɔːfə(ʊ)tɛkˈtɒnɪks/, U.S.

/ˈˌmɔrfoʊtɛkˈtɑnɪks/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: morpho- comb. form, tectonics n.

Etymology: < morpho- comb. form + tectonics n., after morphotectonic adj. Compare French morphotectonique (1935 or earlier), German Morphotektonik (1936 or earlier), Spanish morfotectonica (1952 or earlier).

Geology.

The branch of geomorphology concerned with the form and tectonic origins of large topographic features of the earth's surface (as continents, mountain ranges, river basins, etc.). Also: the morphotectonic character or features of a region.
