Active Margin Tectonics

Active Margin Tectonics is a geological framework that characterizes the structural, kinematic, and dynamic processes occurring at convergent or transform continental margins where lithospheric plate interaction drives seismicity, magmatism, and mountain building, distinguished from passive margin systems by the presence of active subduction, collision, or strike-slip deformation at plate boundaries.
