It involves the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, which is broken into several large and small tectonic plates that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.<br><br>There are several types of tectonism, including:<br><br>1. Continental tectonism: The process of building mountain ranges through the collision of continents.<br>2. Divergent tectonism: The process of seafloor spreading, where the Earth's crust is being pulled apart at mid-ocean ridges.<br>3. Convergent tectonism: The process of subduction, where one tectonic plate is being pushed beneath another.<br><br>Tectonism is a major driver of geological processes, including the creation of mountains, the formation of volcanoes, and the creation of earthquakes.

Tectonosphere

speak

The tectonosphere is the rigid outer layer of the Earth that is broken up into several large plates, known as tectonic plates, that float on the more fluid asthenosphere below it. These plates are in constant motion, sliding over the asthenosphere, and their interactions at their boundaries cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
