Plate Tectonics Questions Medium
The major tectonic plates are the African Plate, Antarctic Plate, Eurasian Plate, Indo-Australian Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate, and South American Plate. These plates are large, rigid pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. They interact with each other at plate boundaries, which can be classified as convergent, divergent, or transform boundaries, and their movements are responsible for various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
