Bungie Weekly Update - 10/18/2013 (Destiny)

The Moonbase is intended to be very familiar – akin to the International Space Station in nature – but the backdrop of Hive architecture and shattered tectonic plates makes it exotic.

So the Traveler can induce plate tectonics now? I thought I understood space magic, but clearly I need to go back to Warlock School.

... but seriously. For some reason I was able to accept "changing the atmosphere/gravity" or "slapping down an ocean on Venus", but plate tectonics on the Moon requires a LOT of stuff to happen that definitely never happened on the Moon (at least the Moon we know). So yeah, this statement made my brain hurt.

At the point that you're changing atmosphere/gravity, plate tectonics seems par for the course. Changing gravity would involve drastically changing the mass let alone move it around a bit.
