Tectonic processes are those that build up the surface of th e earth. They are revealed by tectonic structures such as faults and folds. Mountain building is shown by the presence of the mountains themselves, or by the presence of unconformities (where mountain-building took place in the past).
Plate tectonics is the geologic theory that Earth's crust is made up of rigid plates that float on the surface of the planet. Tectonics comes from the Greek word meaning builder. The movement of the plates toward or away from each other either directly or indirectly creates the major geologic features at Earth's surface. Plate tectonics revolutionized the way geologists view Earth. Like the theory of evolution in biology, plate tectonics is the unifying concept of geology.
