Exploring Tectonites: Understanding Earthquakes and Planetary Tectonics

Earthquakes, the sudden shaking of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, are a powerful reminder of the dynamic nature of our planet. While earthquakes are most commonly associated with Earth, similar seismic events occur on other celestial bodies, albeit with unique characteristics. In this article, we delve into the fascinating world of tectonites, exploring the relationship between planetary tectonics and earthquakes across different celestial bodies.
