Tectonics and climate are both directly and indirectly related. The direct connection is between uplift, atmospheric circulation, and the hydrologic cycle. The indirect links are via subduction, volcanism, the introduction of gasses into the atmosphere, and through erosion and consumption of atmospheric gases by chemical weathering.

Summary Mercury has a remarkable number of landforms that express widespread deformation of the planet’s crustal materials. Deformation on Mercury can be broadly described as either distributed or basin-localized. The distributed deformation on Mercury is dominantly compressional.

The field of tectonic geomorphology is in a state of tension. The widespread availability of high-quality, high-resolution digital topographic data encourages the development of simple morphological ‘tools’ which can be used to deduce recent tectonic evolution.

Plate tectonics, our major paradigm for how the Earth works, was established in the 1960s following decades of observational research that culminated in key discoveries such as geomagnetic reversals, mid-ocean ridges, transform faults, and seafloor spreading; collectively these insights gave rise to the ‘new global tectonics’ or theory of plate ...

Mercury, like its inner Solar System planetary neighbors Venus, Mars, and the Moon, shows no evidence of having ever undergone plate tectonics. Nonetheless, the innermost planet boasts a long record of tectonic deformation. The most prominent manifestation of this history is a population of large scarps that occurs throughout the planet’s cratered ...

Tectonic overpressure and underpressure in lithospheric tectonics and metamorphism
Journal of Metamorphic Geology, 2015AbstractThe lithostatic pressure concept is most commonly applied on a geological scale for lithospheric processes and related evolution of metamorphic rock complexes. Here, various aspects of non‐lithostatic overpressure and underpressure phenomena in lithospheric tectonics and metamorphism are reviewed on the basis of recently published literature ...

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions affect ecosystems on a variety of scales. Trees are particularly susceptible to land movements associated with major fault activity and dendrological studies offer ways of dating past earthquakes, thereby assisting in the prediction of future events.

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics provides valuable insight into the mechanisms by which the Earth's crust and mantle have evolved. Plate tectonics is a unifying model that attempts to explain the origin of patterns of deformation in the crust, earthquake distribution, continental drift, and mid ...
