Palinspastic refers to a technique to reconstruct the past geological or tectonic events by restoring the original features to their initial position. This technique is widely used in geology, paleontology, and other earth sciences. However, there are other ways to describe this method. Some synonyms for palinspastic could be plate tectonic reconstruction, structural corrections, stratigraphic restoration, or geological remapping. Each of these phrases describes the process of restoring the rock layers' original positions and orientation in time to understand the geological history better. Although these terms have subtle differences, they all refer to the same idea of removing the effects of deformation and tilting to reassemble a more accurate representation of the past.
