A map of the tectonic plates of the earth showing the different boundary types in different colors. Locations where plates collide (convergent boundaries) are shown in red. Locations where plates are spreading (divergent boundaries) are shown in yellow.
5 Σεπ 2024 · This map shows the major tectonic plates that make up Earth’s lithosphere. Tectonic plates are massive slabs of solid rock that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and move relative to one another. The movement of these plates can cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain building, and ocean trench formation.
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 Convergence Vectors - Referenced from United States Geological Survey: Convergence data are shown by arrows describing direction and speed, relative to the plate across the boundary. Plate Divergence Vectors - Referenced from Digital Tectonic Activity Map: Divergence data are shown by double arrows describing direction and speed.
30 Ιαν 2020 · The 2006 tectonic plate boundary map shows all the boundaries by type and where the plates are moving in 21 locations throughout the world.
14 Ιουν 2004 · These images show the locations of the plates and their boundaries in the Earth's crust. Convergent boundaries are areas where two plates are pushing against each other and one plate may be subducting under another.
