Tectonic Inheritance is a geodynamic concept referring to the process whereby pre-existing structural weaknesses in the lithosphere, formed during earlier tectonic events, exert control on the localization and evolution of subsequent intraplate deformation, magmatism, and lithospheric reactivation.
