The boundary between the North America Plate and the Eurasian Plate is an example of a divergent boundary at a mid-ocean ridge. All of the plate boundaries that occur down the center of the Atlantic Ocean are divergent boundaries that follow the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Map showing ...
Plate Tectonics Map Plate tectonics "pertaining to building" is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of 7 large plates and the movements of
This map of plate tectonics 50 million years in the future was created by projecting present-day plate motions into the future. The northward movement of Australia and Africa will result in the collision of Australia with China and the closure of the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Mediterranean....
of tectonic structures. By contrast, tectonic maps, in the narrow sense, show, in addition to morphology, (1) the history of the formation of the structures, (2) phases in the structures’ development, and (3) the relationship between magmatism and tectonics. Several types of tectonic maps,...

Pangea, supercontinent that incorporated almost all of Earth’s landmasses in early geologic time. Fully assembled by the Early Permian Epoch (some 299 million to about 273 million years ago), it began to break apart about 200 million years ago, eventual

An example of this activity is the ongoing collision of the continental Indian plate and the continental Eurasian plate. The landmasses began colliding around 50 million years ago, thickening the crust to great extents. The result of this process, theTibetan Plateau, is perhaps the largest and ...
