The 2006U.S. Geological Surveymap of tectonic plates show 21 of the major plates, as well as their movements and boundaries. Convergent (colliding) boundaries are shown as a black line with teeth, divergent (spreading) boundaries as solid red lines, and transform (sliding alongside) boundaries ...
a map that portrays the structure of the earth’s crust and, usually, reflects the primary phases in development of the crust within particular regions or for the earth as a whole. Such maps are made on the basis of geologic maps through the use of geophysical and other data. ...
Since the start of plate tectonics, the number of recognized plates has grown considerably. This introduction examines how this number has grown with time. The first attempt at a global description of plates was done by Morgan (1968). Additional file1: Table S1 shows the plates that can be ...
You can also find some good resources online. There is a companion site for thePBS program Savage Earththat talks about the Ring of Fire. You can also check out theUSGS siteto see a detailed map of the Pacific Ring of Fire and more detailed information about plate tectonics. You can also...
Transpression occurs in response to oblique convergence across a deformation zone in intraplate regions and plate boundaries. The Korean Peninsula is located at an intraplate region of the eastern Eurasian Plate and has been deformed under the ENE-WSW maximum horizontal compression since the late Plioc...

This paleogeographic coincidence of the Burro Negro fault zone and the Maracaibo shelf edge suggests that the paleotrend of the South American passive margin prior to collision was serrated in map view. West-to-east migration of the Caribbean–South America oblique collision formed progressively ...
