Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003779

The study of the large-scale deformation and structural features of the Earth's crust, including the forces and processes that create them. This field encompasses plate tectonics, which describes the movement and interaction of lithospheric plates. Tectonics directly influences the formation of sedimentary basins, hydrocarbon traps, and the thermal maturation of organic matter.
