Craton Motion

Craton Motion is a geodynamic theory that explains the large-scale horizontal displacement of ancient, stable continental crustal blocks (cratons) within the framework of continental drift, distinguished by its focus on the preservation and kinematic behavior of these rigid lithospheric elements over geologic time.
