The map above shows names and generalized locations of Earth's major tectonic plates. These plates move and interact with one another to produce earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain ranges, ocean trenches and other geologic processes and features. Map prepared by the United States Geological Survey.
Set one of the two positions (A or B) to adjust. These points are the beginning and end position for the animation. Each land mass can be adjusted by modifying their x, y, and z axis rotation (this can be tedious). You may drag the earth to see different views.

Plate Tectonics is Earth's own internal combustion engine. But to fully appreciate Plate Tectonics, you need to know about Geologic Time and Geology itself . . . For Earthquakes, Tsunamis, volcanoes and Super-volcanoes, visit the Geo-Hazards page →. Interactive Plate Tectonics. Continental Drift and Alfred Wegener.
24 Φεβ 2023 · Geologists believe that, at present, three categories of tectonic plates are found on the Earth's surface. These include Major plates, Minor Plates, and Microplates. A map showing some of the major and minor tectonic plates of our planet.
19 Οκτ 2023 · Geologists studying the Earth use scientific observation and evidence to construct a picture of what the Earth looked like at different periods in the geologic past. Use this map gallery to better understand how plate tectonics created the ocean and continents we are familiar with today.
How are the tectonic plates related to earthquakes and volcanoes? This interactive relief and bathymetric map reveals tectonic plates, as well as world-wide earthquakes and volcanoes. By looking at each you can see a positive correlation between all three.
