tektonicznych

Tektonicznych is a Polish inflected form of the adjective tektoniczny, meaning “tectonic.” It is used in geology, geography, and related disciplines to describe phenomena connected with the movement and deformation of the Earth's lithosphere. The underlying noun tektonika denotes tectonics, the field that studies large-scale structural features of the crust and mantle, including plate tectonics and lithospheric dynamics.

In geological usage, tektonicznych appears in phrases that refer to tectonic processes, structures, or regions. Examples include stref tektonicznych (tectonic zones), płyty tektoniczne (tectonic plates), procesów tektonicznych (tectonic processes), and obszarów tektonicznych (tectonic areas). The form is common in scientific writing, maps, and descriptive texts, where adjectives modify nouns in various grammatical cases.

Etymology traces tektonika to Greek tektonikos, “builder” or “carpenter,” reflecting the shaping role of tectonic forces in forming the Earth’s crust. The term entered Polish scientific vocabulary through geology and geophysics, expanding to encompass concepts such as crustal deformation, mountain building (orogeny), and basin formation within the framework of plate tectonics.
