PlateConvergence
type: Class
subclass of: TectonicPhenomena
disjoint with: PlateDivergence
comment: Plate convergence is the phenomena of two plates moving toward one another. [Wikipedia]

PlateDivergence
type: Class
subclass of: TectonicPhenomena
comment: Plate divergence is the phenomena of plates drifting apart [Wikipedia]

TectonicAssemblage
type: Class
subclass of: GeologicFeature
comment: A tectonic ssemblage is a geological term for an accreted terrane of heterogeneous rocks. [Wikipedia]

Terrane
type: Class
subclass of: TectonicAssemblage
comment: A terrane in geology is a fragment of crustal material formed on, or broken off from, one tectonic plate and accreted — "sutured" — to crust lying on another plate. [Wikipedia]

AsymmetricHeatFlow
type: Class
subclass of: Flow
comment: Asymmetric heat flow in geology is an observation that the heat from upwelling mantle does not spread symmetrically away from the hot spot or rift due to differences in crust composition.

ContinenetalDrift
type: Class
subclass of: TectonicPhenomena
comment: Continental drift is the movement of the Earth's continents relative to each other. [Wikipedia]

ExtensionEvent
type: Class
subclass of: TectonicPhenomena
comment: An extension event occurs when a seismic event causes an extension in the crust. [Wikipedia]

IsostaticRebound
type: Class
subclass of: TectonicPhenomena
equivalent class: IsostaticAdjustment
comment: Post-glacial rebound (sometimes called continental rebound, isostatic rebound, isostatic adjustment or post-ice-age isostatic recovery) is the rise of land masses that were depressed by the huge weight of ice sheets during the last glacial period, through a process known as isostatic depression. [Wikipedia]

Spreading
type: Class
subclass of: TectonicPhenomena
comment: A spreading event occurs whenever plates drift apart (Plate Divergence). [Wikipedia]

TectonicForce
type: Class
subclass of: Force
equivalent class: TectonicProcess
subclass of: Restriction
  on property: hasPhenomena
  all values from: TectonicPhenomena
comment: The tectonic force is the force created by one tectonic plate pushing against another due to upwellings of the mantle, [Wikipedia]

TectonicPhenomena
type: Class
subclass of: GeospherePhenomena
subclass of: Restriction
  all values from: Deformation
  on property: hasPhenomena
subclass of: Restriction
  all values from: Crust
  on property: hasRealm
comment: The tectonic phenomena is the observable motions of the tectonic plates in the Earth's Lithosphere. [Wikipedia]
