geotectonicsn.

Brit.

/ˌdʒiːə(ʊ)tɛkˈtɒnɪks/, U.S.

/ˌdʒioʊtɛkˈtɑnɪks/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: geo- comb. form, tectonics n.

Etymology: < geo- comb. form + tectonics n. (although this is apparently first attested later in the relevant sense), after German Geotektonik ( C. F. Naumann Lehrbuch der Geognosie (1849), I. ccxxxv. 899).

Geology.

With singular agreement. = tectonics n. 2.

1858 E. C. Otté & W. S. Dallas tr. A. von Humboldt Cosmos V. 447 There are many volcanoes whose configuration, altitude and range (what the talented Carl Friedrich Naumann calls the geotectonics), we now know in the most satisfactory manner.

1941 Science 28 Feb. 210/1 Isostatic equilibrium and the strength of the earth's crust are subjects that loom ever larger in connection with problems of geotectonics.

2005 J. M. Mabesoone & V. H. Neumann Cyclic Devel. Sedimentary Basins ii. 15 An attempt is made to formulate the principles of geodynamics and geotectonics, acting forces and evolutionary factors in the universe.
