The term originates from the physical science of geology, specifically the movement of plates that reshape the entire planet. This gives the word a feeling of immense power and inevitability. It suggests forces that are too large for any individual to stop or influence. When used outside of science, it describes shifts that are not sudden or superficial, but deep and structural. While a change might be quick, a tectonic change is one that alters the very foundation of how a system works, leaving the landscape permanently different.
