The data from Palau and Saipan may have been affected by local tectonic movement because these islands belong to tectonically active regions, but further studies are needed to resolve the inconsistency.
Once you get that tectonic movement your sandwich is done".
Tectonic movement along the fault has caused massive earthquakes, including the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.
But the tectonic movement within the wife is startling, as she readies for her life to blow apart.
Heightened plate tectonic movement led to significant volcanic activity, mountain-building events, and attachment of islands onto continents.
Tectonic movement of the North American Plate has thinned Earth's crust in the area, forming a hot spot (a place where a dome of magma, or molten rock, comes close to the surface).
The cause of this instability indeed, the reason for Japan's existence is the tectonic movement of several of the Earth's major crustal plates in the vicinity of the archipelago.
It is the kind of tectonic movement that the Supreme Court may be looking for before it is willing to rule definitively in favor of a national same-sex-marriage right.
Information on the speed of tectonic movement could be gathered by placing an expensive array of global-positioning devices on the ocean floor, revealing how often the faults rupture; faster slip rates lead to more frequent earthquakes.
Finally, if you want to bring the impact of tectonic movement home to students, this article from The Day talks about how in 220 million years, countries as far apart as Chile and China could be part of one enormous landmass, as ocean space between Europe and America is shrinking.
Their formation is controlled by paleogeomorphology and tectonic movement.
