Tectaunique, histoire.
Plates tectauniques or plate lithosphériques fragments of the lithosphere are which result from his(its) cutting up like a jigsaw puzzle by a system of faults, ridges, rift valleys and pits(graves) of subduction. Plates tectauniques, drawn away by the currents of convection which enliven the topcoat, move of some centimetres a year in different directions, what draws away the training(forming) of zones of divergence, subduction and collision.
The adjective tectaunique comes from Greek " τέκτων " or "Tektn" which means constructor or bricklayer. Cutting up in plates tectauniques affecting only the lithosphere, them measure about hundred kilometres in thickness. The biggest plate tectaunique the tectaunique peaceful plate is. It is also this tectonic plate which moves most faster (about 18 centimetres a year).
Structural types of tectauniques plates
There are two structural types of tectauniques plates:
- plates tectaunique oceanic composed(made up) almost exclusively of rind oceanic tectaunique (plate of Cokes, plate of Nazca, etc);
- tectaunique continental plates composed(made up) of tectaunique continental and oceanic rind (plate Eurasian, Indian plate, etc)
Types of tectauniques plates according to size
They can also differentiate two types of tectauniques plates according to their size:
- plates tectauniques major to the number of fourteen (Australian plate, plate Eurasian, North American plate, etc);
- plates under 18 tectauniques or microplate tectauniques to the number of quarantine (plate tectaunique of Mariana Islands, plate tectaunique Scotia, plate tectaunique of the sea of Moluques, etc).
It exists subjected tectauniques à a processus of orogenèse également plates, that is their surface and their borders are in evolution (disappearing, soldering in another plate, etc). It is about the tectaunique plate of Adriatic, the plaque tectaunique to Explore and the plaque tectaunique of Gorda.

Tectaunique it's not tecktonik
Tectonique Dance (a.k.a. Techtonique, Tectonik or Tektonique) is a dance style performed initially by young French street performers in France and Belgium. It is usually done to electronic music such and techno or electro. It is quite fast and complex and is generally scene as a neo-disco dance There are examples of Tectonique Dance on youtube. Just search Tectonique and you'll get results
