    Diastrophism is a natural tectonic process involving large-scale deformation of Earth's crust through earthquakes and mantle convection currents, leading to the formation of continents, oceans, mountains, plateaus and rift valleys. Stress from internal forces can cause rocks to fold, fracture, or form faults as they undergo elastic, plastic or fracturing strains.

    Original Description:

    Movement between oceanic and continental ,oceanic and oceanic, continental and continental crust.

    DIASTROPHISM

    DIASTROPHIS
    M Anatural
    tectonism which refers to a large-scale deformation of Earth’s crust by
    processes such as earthquakes and pressure exerted by convection
    current in the mantle which leads to the formation of continents and ocean
    basins, mountain, plateaus and rift valleys.

    FOLDING
    a force that tends to compress, pull
    STRESS apart or deform a rock
    FAULTING
    A rock that can cope stress
    STRESS
