Here is an overview of each major plate shown in the map: 1. Pacific Plate Location: The largest tectonic plate, located beneath the Pacific Ocean. Characteristics: Contains both oceanic crust (mostly basaltic) and a small section of continental crust. Interactions: It interacts with many other...
Hotspots can be located near plate boundaries, like in Iceland but are often found thousands of miles away from. TheHawaiihotspot, for example, is almost 2,000 miles away from the nearest boundary. Microplates Seven of the world's major tectonic plates make up around 84 percent of the Earth...

The Eurasian major plate consists of most of Europe, Russia, and parts of Asia. This plate is sandwiched between the North American and African Plates on the north and west sides. The west side has a divergent boundary with the North American plate. The south side of theEurasian plateneighbo...

In the second part, the students "jigsaw" and get into groups where each person is an expert in a different map. They share their observations with their group and find similarities among the observations. The students are then given a copy of the world and asked to draw in the plate ...
