The Antarctic plate is the tectonic plate under the continent of Antarctica. It extends northward below the oceans to where it meets the Nazca, South American, African, Indo-Australian, and Scotia Plates and forms a divergent boundary along the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge.
What else can I help you with?
Which plates touch the antarctic plate?
The Antarctic plate is surrounded by the South American, African, Australian, and Pacific plates. It interacts with these plates along its boundaries, where tectonic activity such as subduction or spreading occurs.
What type of boundary exists between the African plate and the Antarctic plate?
They are divergent plates
What is the Antarctic plate?
The Antarctic plate is the tectonic plate under the continent of Antarctica. It extends northward below the oceans to where it meets the Nazca, South American, African, Indo-Australian, and Scotia Plates and forms a divergent boundary along the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge.
How many major plate are there?
There are 7 major tectonic plates: African, Antarctic, Eurasian, North American, Pacific, South American, and Indo-Australian plates.
What kind of tectonic boundary do the Nazca and the Antarctic plate share?
The Nazca and Antarctic plates share a convergent tectonic boundary where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the Antarctic Plate. This results in volcanic activity and the formation of the Andes mountain range along the western coast of South America.
What type of plates boundary exists between African plates and the Antarctic plate?
They are divergent plates
Which plates touch the antarctic plate?
The Antarctic plate is surrounded by the South American, African, Australian, and Pacific plates. It interacts with these plates along its boundaries, where tectonic activity such as subduction or spreading occurs.
What are the six major?
The six major plates are the American, African, Eurasian (Europe and Asia), Indian, Pacific, and Antarctic plates.

What are the names for four of the larger tectonic plates that make up the earth?
African, Antarctic, Indian, Australian, Eurasian, Pacific, North American plates.
What is the Antarctic plate?
The Antarctic plate is the tectonic plate under the continent of Antarctica. It extends northward below the oceans to where it meets the Nazca, South American, African, Indo-Australian, and Scotia Plates and forms a divergent boundary along the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge.
Which two tectonic plates are separated by the midocean ridge?
The mid ocean ridge separates many plates, not just two. In the Atlantic Ocean it separates the Eurasian and African plates from the North American Plate and the African Plate from the South American Plate. In the Indian Ocean it separates the African Plate from the Antarctic, Australian, Indian Plates and the Australian Plate from the Antarctic Plate. In the Red Sea it separates the African Plate from the Arabian Plate. In the Pacific Ocean it separates the Pacific Plate from the Antarctic, Nazca, Cocos, and Juan de Fuca Plates and the Nazca Plate from the Cocos and Antarctic Plates.
How many major plate are there?
There are 7 major tectonic plates: African, Antarctic, Eurasian, North American, Pacific, South American, and Indo-Australian plates.
Are the pacific plates and the antarctic plates moving towards each other or away from each other or past each other?
the plates are moving away from each other.
4 largest tectonic plates?
The four largest tectonic plates are the Pacific Plate, the African Plate, the Antarctic Plate, and the Eurasian Plate. These plates cover significant portions of Earth's surface and play a crucial role in shaping our planet's geology and natural processes.
Where do spiders not live?
Spiders are found everywhere except for on the Antarctic mainland. Surprisingly, spiders the size of dinner plates have been found on the seabed far below the surface of Antarctic waters.
