5 wrz 2024 · This map shows the major tectonic plates that make up Earth’s lithosphere. Tectonic plates are massive slabs of solid rock that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and move relative to one another. The movement of these plates can cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain building, and ocean trench formation.

Tectonic Tessellation Playground. Instructions: Set one of the two positions (A or B) to adjust. These points are the beginning and end position for the animation. Each land mass can be adjusted by modifying their x, y, and z axis rotation (this can be tedious). You may drag the earth to see different views.
Plate tectonics map from NASA. This is a list of tectonic plates on Earth's surface. Tectonic plates are pieces of Earth's crust and uppermost mantle, together referred to as the lithosphere.The plates are around 100 km (62 mi) thick and consist of two principal types of material: oceanic crust (also called sima from silicon and magnesium) and continental crust (sial from silicon and aluminium).

Using freely available tectonic plate data in the form of a shape file we have produced a line map to visualise the location of the tectonic plates throughout the world. Displayed on a Stamen Toner baselayer, select any line to display the feature information including name, source and type.
