Please see the link below titled "EXONUMIA.COM" for a person who is interested in buying anything by Franklin or Danbury Mint. He requests you e-mail him for an exact price list but has the following to say about what he is willing to pay for non-silver Franklin Mint plates "Generally $2 each and up with box / documents; $1 without box". He has this to say about collectible plates in general: "The market for modern ceramic plates is VERY limited. Despite the so-called limited edition status of these plates, there basically are too many plates for too few collectors, resulting in a low price for most plates. I have SOLD large lots of mint-condition, in-the-box limited-edition ceramic plates in the $4 each range."
Tectonic plates
Land plates are called continental plates. Sea plates are called oceanic plates.
Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle.
Subduction Plates
they are plates under the crust that move when are shifted
becuase volcanoes have plates under them.the places that dont have plates under them don't have volcanoes
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
Subduction!
Yes, several of the plates have their margins under the oceans. The Pacific Plate would be the plate with the largest area under the seas.
Oceanic plates are sections of the Earth's lithosphere that form the bedrock beneath the world's oceans. These plates are typically denser and younger than continental plates, and they are constantly moving due to the process of plate tectonics. Subduction zones are often found at the boundaries where oceanic plates meet continental plates.
Its under the South American Plate
The plates under the ocean are part of Earth's lithosphere, known as oceanic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact with each other at plate boundaries, influencing geological processes like seafloor spreading, subduction, and volcanic activity.
