Answer:
Processes related to the interaction between or deformation of rigid plates forming the crust of the Earth are called tectonic process
☞Tectonics comes from the Greek word tekton, meaning builder
☞The plates move under horizontal forces that cause them to collide, combine, break up, or, in the case of oceanic plates, to be drawn down (subducted). The forces that act on or near mid-oceanic ridges are called ridge-push force.

tectonic process
Tectonic processes are those that build up the surface of the earth. They are revealed by tectonic structures such as faults and folds. Mountain building is shown by the presence of the mountains themselves, or by the presence of unconformities (where mountain-building took place in the past).
