  Tectonophysics is the branch of geophysics that studies the physical processes governing the movement and deformation of Earth's lithosphere. It serves as the foundation for understanding the forces that drive plate tectonics, mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. This field integrates principles from geology, physics, and engineering to explain how stresses, strains, and material properties influence the behavior of the Earth's crust and mantle. 
  The development of tectonophysics as a scientific discipline emerged from the broader study of geodynamics and plate tectonics. In the early 20th century, Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that continents were once joined in a supercontinent called Pangaea before slowly drifting apart. However, his ideas lacked a convincing mechanism. It was not until the mid-20th century that discoveries such as seafloor spreading and mantle convection provided the necessary framework for the modern theory of plate tectonics. These findings revolutionized the understanding of Earth's dynamic nature, establishing tectonophysics as a crucial field in geoscience. 
  At its core, tectonophysics investigates the forces that drive plate motions. Earth's interior consists of the solid inner core, the molten outer core, the mantle, and the brittle lithosphere. Heat from the core generates convective currents in the mantle, which exert stress on the overlying tectonic plates. These stresses lead to deformation in the lithosphere, resulting in phenomena such as faulting, folding, and crustal thickening. The study of stress and strain is fundamental in tectonophysics, as it helps explain the mechanisms behind earthquakes and mountain formation.

  In Residual Governance, Gabrielle Hecht dives into the wastes of gold and uranium mining in South Africa to explore how communities, experts, and artists fight for infrastructural and environmental justice. Hecht outlines how mining in South Africa is a prime example of what she theorizes as residual governance—the governance of waste and discard, governance that is purposefully inefficient, and governance that treats people and places as waste and wastelands. She centers the voices of people who resist residual governance and the harms of toxic mining waste to highlight how mining's centrality to South African history reveals the links between race, capitalism, the state, and the environment. In this way, Hecht shows how the history of mining in South Africa and the resistance to residual governance and environmental degradation is a planetary story: the underlying logic of residual governance lies at the heart of contemporary global racial capitalism and is a major accelerant of the Anthropocene.
