Structural Geology Concepts

This group collects the Structural and Tectonic Formations subcategory's members that describe a general class of tectonic concept, process or continental-scale feature rather than one named, located landform: the supercontinent as a category, the ocean and oceanic basins as a class, tectonic plates such as the Arabian Plate, and proposed land bridges such as the De Geer Land Bridge. These entries explain a process, a category or a continental-scale structure rather than one specific mountain, fault or dome, so they do not fit any single feature-type group and are kept together as the subcategory's own conceptual entries.
