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.
30 Ιαν 2020 · Seven of the world's major tectonic plates make up around 84 percent of the Earth's total surface. This map shows those and also includes many other plates that are too small to label. Geologists refer to the very small ones as "microplates," although that term has loose definitions.

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.
Tectonic Plates Boundaries. Earth’s lithosphere is a series of plates shaping its landscape.
What are tectonic plates and what are the types of plate boundaries? This article will try to answer these questions by presenting the theory and the history of establishing this theory. Some diagrams and maps of the tectonic plates and their boundaries will help to visualise this concept.
