Great for an informational site relating to the Earth's plate tectonics. Here is the definition according to Answers.com
"General term referring to the large-scale change of rock in response to forces causing faulting and folding. The forces acting upon a rock mass are generally termed compressional (squeezing together), tensional (pulling apart), or shear (parallel sliding). Common landforms resulting from tectonic processes are mountain ranges, rift zones, faults, fractured rock, and folded rock masses."
Please make an offer if interested.
