Tectonics, or, as it is also known, structural geology, is the study of the movements of large rock masses. I have noticed an odd coincidence in which the words for most of the concepts used in tectonics begin with either the letter S or the letter F.
Or, to put it most succinctly:
Structure is shear, strain, stress, and strength in faults, folds, fractures, and foliations.
