neotectonicsn.

Brit.

/ˌniːə(ʊ)tɛkˈtɒnɪks/, U.S.

/ˈˌnioʊtɛkˈtɑnɪks/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Russian lexical item. Etymons: neo- comb. form, tectonics n.

Etymology: < neo- comb. form + tectonics n., after Russian neotektonika (V. A. Obručev 1948, in Izvestija Akademii nauk SSSR Ser. Geol. v. 13).

Geology.

The branch of geology concerned with structural changes in the earth's crust which have occurred in the Cenozoic period (and esp. in or after the Miocene epoch). Also: such crustal changes collectively, or structural features resulting from them.

1966 Amer. Midland Naturalist 75 543 Under the last heading such fields as oceanography,..neotectonics, dendrochronology, and theoretical climatology are discussed.

1980 Nature 17 Jan. 261/2 The boundaries of the other regions are based on large-scale neotectonics and on the densities of epicentres.

1994 New Scientist 4 June 26/2 Strecker, now professor of neotectonics at Stanford University in California, saw signs that the direction of stress had shifted from east-west to northwest-southeast.
