What tectonic plate is drifting away from the African plate?
The Arabian plate The Arabian Plate was part of the African plate during much of the Phanerozoic Eon. The Red Sea rifting began in the Eocene, but the separation of Africa and Arabia occurred in the Oligocene, and since then the Arabian Plate has been slowly moving toward the Eurasian Plate, where is is pushing up the Zagros Mountains of Iran.
What was created when the Arabian and the African tectonic plates diverged?
When the Arabian and African tectonic plates diverged, the Red Sea was created. This divergence resulted in the formation of a rift or a gap between the two plates, which eventually filled with seawater to form the Red Sea.
What is the tectonic plate of Saudi Arabia?
Arabian
What type of plate boundry exists between the Arabian and the eurasian plates?
A convergent boundary.
Which two plates make up the dead sea?
African and Arabian plate

Which tectonic plate has not contributed to the formation of the Arabian Peninsula?
Several tectonic plates did not contribute to the formation of the Arabian Peninsula. They were the African and Eurasian plates.
What tectonic plates have contributed to the formation of the Arabian peninsula?
The African and Eurasian.
What is the slowest moving tectonic plate?
Arabian and southern African plate.
What three tectonic plates come together in the middle east?
The African, Arabian, and Eurasian plates.
Is the African plate convergent or divergent?
Is the Arabian Plate convergent or divergent? Yes to both. The western margin of the Arabian Peninsula (the Red Sea) and southern margin (the Gulf of Aden) are extensions of the African Great Rift Valley. The point where Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and Somalia are close together is the central joint of a Y-shaped divergent boundary whose upper arms are defined by the two bodies of water. As the Arabian Plate pulls away from the African Plate, it creates a convergent boundary as it plows into the Eurasian Plate along its northern margin. Much of the tectonic activity and mountain-building (orogengy) in Iran and Turkey is the result of this convergent boundary. Complicated segments with lateral motion are also present along the boundary of the Arabian Plate with its neighbors.

On which tectonic plate does the UAE lie?
The UAE actually lies on one of the smaller tectonic plates, called the Arabian plate; the Arabian plate occupies most of the Middle-east region

divergent
