There are 9 major tectonic plates in the Earth\'s oceanic crust, six of which receive the names of the continents they hold.
The North American and Caribbean tectonic plates caused the Haiti earthquake in 2010. The movement along the boundary between these two plates resulted in the devastating earthquake.
Mendocino, Molokai, and Galapagos are names of fracture zones in the ocean floor, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. These fracture zones are characterized by a series of faults and ridges that form due to the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. They play a significant role in shaping the geology and topography of the ocean floor.
it got its name from the latin term tectonicus meaning "pertaining to building".
New Zealand is situated on the active boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates.
The earth is broken into fourteen plates: Pacific, Juan de Fuca, North American, Cocos, Caribbean, Nazca, Scotia, South American, Antarctic, African, Arabian, Eurasian, Australian-Indian, and Philippine. These are considered the main plates and are larger than minor plates.
The pieces of the Earth's outer layer are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact with each other at plate boundaries, causing processes like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
