Section 3 Deforming Earth`s Crust
... How can a material bend at one time and break at another time? The answer is that the stress you put on the material was different each time. Stress is the amount of force per unit area on a given material. The same principle applies to the rocks in Earth’s crust. Rock reacts differently when differ ...

Tectonic–climatic interaction
Tectonic–climatic interaction is the interrelationship between tectonic processes and the climate system. The tectonic processes in question include orogenesis, volcanism, and erosion, while relevant climatic processes include atmospheric circulation, orographic lift, monsoon circulation and the rain shadow effect. As the geological record of past climate changes over millions of years is sparse and poorly resolved, many questions remain unresolved regarding the nature of tectonic-climate interaction, although it is an area of active research by geologists and palaeoclimatologists.
