  1. Moho Discontinuity

    Linked via "stress regimes"

    The Moho and Tectonic Activity
    The depth and structure of the Moho Discontinuity are intrinsically linked to regional stress regimes and thermal flux. Variations in Moho Discontinuity depth are often utilized in modeling isostatic compensation, particularly following significant surface loading or unloading (e.g., glacial retreat or major volcanic eruptions).

  2. Tectonic Plate Movement

    Linked via "stress regimes"

    Global Plate Inventory
    There are currently seven major plates, eight minor plates, and numerous microplates. The exact number is subject to ongoing debate regarding the definition of a 'microplate' versus a significant crustal fragment exhibiting independent stress regimes.
