Earth crust displacement information


Earth crustal displacement or Earth crust displacement may refer to:

  • Plate tectonics, scientific theory which describes the large scale motions of Earth's crust (lithosphere).
  • Fault (geology), fracture in Earth's crust where one side moves with respect to the other side.
  • Supercontinent cycle, the quasi-periodic aggregation and dispersal of Earth's continental crust.
  • Cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis, where the axis of rotation of a planet may have shifted or the crust may have shifted dramatically.
