Tectonic active

Tectonic  Active

the oposite of a tectonic passive world or planet.

In general it is the age of planet (Rock core ) and the state of thermal energy contained in its core.

Earth for example is a relative young planet and has a liquid core of liquid magma and a center of nickle iron.

Older planets like the worlds around Sares Prime have much cooler centers  much less volcanic and tectonic activity ( Earth quakes for example)

The Wurgus and to an extend the Army Corps of Engineers offer Tectonic control measures and have tecnological solutions for Volcano and Earth quake control.

But these measures are tremendously expensive and involve planet sized construction projects  and is done only to a few core worlds.

Union Colonization technology allows the colonization of  even the most tectonic active and violent worlds. (Such as Rattle, Shaker , Tremor and Stove Top among the most prominent examples)

BoCA adds a Tectonic Activity scale to every surveyed world.

The Scale (TECAC Scale )

 * 1 - Inert and inactive  (Example : Luna )
 * 2 - Minute thermic residue present (Example: Pluto )
 * 3 - No Volcanoes -  Quakes very rare and light (Example: Petra )
 * 4 - Weak Volcanic activity - Rare quakes up to Richter 3 (Example : Nilfeheim )
 * 5 - Some Volcanic activty, Errupions rare put possible, Quakes up to 5.0 (Example: Mars )
 * 6 - Volcanos and volcanic activity sporadic, Quakes up to 8 (Example Earth )
 * 7:  Many Volcanos, frequent Quakes and up to 9 (Magma 9 )
 * 8: Volcanos and open Magma streams common, Quakes common, up to 10 (Shake'n Bake )
 * 9: Thin Crust, Erruptions common and frequent, Quakes up to 12 (Tremor )
 * 10: Partially liquid surface, Volcanos and volcanic activity the norm. Quakes almost constant up to 12 ( Lava Lake )
 * 11: Most of the surface liquid or semi liquid, no real crust - No Quakes (Demon's Paradise )
 * 12: Proto Planet, liquid surface, no crust. No quakes (Boiling Rock)

Science and Definition
Tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus from the Greek τεκτονικός, "pertaining to building")[1] is concerned with the processes which control the structure and properties of the Earth's crust, and its evolution through time. In particular, it describes the processes of mountain building, the growth and behavior of the strong, old cores of continents known as cratons, and the ways in which the relatively rigid plates that comprise the Earth's outer shell interact with each other. Tectonics also provides a framework to understand the earthquake and volcanic belts which directly affect much of the global population. Tectonic studies are important for understanding erosion patterns in geomorphology and as guides for the economic geologist searching for petroleum and metallic ores.
