Tectonics deals with smaller scale formations.

Structural geology focuses on planetary scale formations.

Tectonics involves larger scale formations influenced by gravity.

Structural geology is more concerned with oceanic processes.

It causes mountain belts to flow apart over time.

It prevents tectonic plates from moving.

It has no significant influence.

It only affects oceanic crust formation.

It eliminated the need for high-performance computing.

It focused solely on the study of mountain belts.

It provided a quantitative and testable model of Earth's processes.

It introduced the concept of oceanic crust.

Because tectonic processes are isolated and do not interact.

Because tectonics only deals with the Earth's crust.

Because tectonics is a simple science with few variables.

Because many interacting processes influence tectonic phenomena.

They are irrelevant to modern geoscience.

They are only used in structural geology.

They help in understanding and forecasting tectonic events.

They are not important in tectonic studies.
