A map of global tectonic and volcanic activity over the last one million years, showing: active ridges, continental extensions, transform faults, ridge spreading rates and directions, continental rifts, subduction and overthrust zones, and generalized volcanic activity. Illustration prepared by Paul D....
North American Plate Movement The east side of the North American Plate straddles theEurasian PlateandAfrican Plate. This is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge wheredivergent tectonic platespull apart from each other. In turn, we find some of the youngest geologic rocks at these mid-oceanic ridges. FARALLON ...
5.1. Can the effect be traced in OpenStreetMap? While tectonic plate motion certainly has an impact on coordinates contained in a global dataset, it is unclear how visible the effect is for a real dataset. Many factors influence how coordinate values are created, changed, and updated, thereby...
Lab: Plate Tectonics Goals of this lab: -to learn about types of Plate Boundaries -to learn about Plate Boundary Interactions -to familiarize yourself with the Plate Tectonic Map of the World -to understand and familiarize yourself with past Plate Movement and the supercontinent Pangea -to underst...

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....
Direct observation had, by mid-century, proved that the Earth’s crust was split into free-floating plates of various sizes. Furthermore, the movement of these tectonic plates could be measured with a good degree of accuracy. Some of the plates were found to move as much as four inches (...
