What Does BAT Stand For?
BAT stands for Back Arc Tectonics
Back Arc Tectonics (BAT) refers to the geological processes and tectonic dynamics that occur in the region behind a volcanic arc, typically associated with subduction zones. This field of study examines the interactions between tectonic plates, the formation of geological structures, and the associated volcanic activity. BAT plays a crucial role in understanding the evolution of continental margins, the development of basins, and the dynamics of magma production, providing insights into the broader mechanisms of plate tectonics and the geological history of Earth.
