which generally follows the coastlines of North and South America and Asia, marks the boundaries between the huge Pacific plate and the continental plates surrounding it. Volcanoes on the Northwest coast of North America, in Kamchatka, in Japan and the Philippines, and...
Divergent boundaries occur where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This process allows magma from the mantle to rise to the surface, creating new crust. Spreading Center: This is the most common type of divergent boundary. Spreading centers occur mainly along mid-ocean ridges,...
Tectonic Map 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...
Here are the 7 major tectonic plates of the world in a bit more detail. 1. Pacific Plate The Pacific major plate is the largest which underlies the Pacific Ocean. Specifically, it stretches all the way along the west coast of North America to the east coast of Japan and Indonesia. ...
The North American plate extends all the way over the North Pole and even contains Siberia and the northern island of Japan. It also includes Greenland, Cuba, and the Bahamas. Like the seams of a baseball, tectonic plates wrap around Earth. The 2nd largest plate on Earth is the North Ame...

is an active volcano in the Ring of Fire. Mount Fuji last erupted in 1707, but recent earthquake activity in eastern Japan may have put the volcano in a “critical state.” Mount Fuji sits at a “triple junction,” where three tectonic plates (the Amur Plate, Okhotsk Plate, and Philippin...

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. The...
