It rather depends on how you define the actual activity. You could measure it in terms of lava emitted, the size and number of earthquakes, the amount of daily movement, the rate of mountain-building and so on. In my humble opinion, I would choose the Mid Atlantic Ridge as the most "active" (certainly in terms of lava emitted) and India/Asia plate boundary as the second most active (in terms of number of earthquakes and mountain building), but I am sure that opinions would differ.

What kind of tectonic plate is the eurasian plate?
The tectonic plate under parts of Europe and Asia is a continental crustal plate.
How does plates affect the surface of the surface?
when tectonic plate collides with other tectonic plates or moves into another tectonic plate it affects surface in a way to create mountains. Like Himalayas are created when the indian tectonic plate collided with asian tectonic plate.

The mountain range that is being created by the collision between the Indian tectonic plate and Asian tectonic plate is the Himalaya.
Is plate tectonics the plural form of plate tectonics?
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
What are tectonic plates named after?
Tectonic plate are named after portions of the Earth that they support, such as the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate.
