List of tectonic plates

The list of tectonic plates includes proven and probable tectonic plates of the earth. Plates, which no longer exist, are not listed.

Other plates

  • Often, the southern tip of the Juan de Fuca plate is separated as a separate plate. This then is called Gorda plate. The northern end of the Juan de Fuca plate is partially separated as Explorer plate.
  • A part of the Eurasian plate is in turn called Apulian plate, a part of this as Adriatic plate. The Adriatic plate comprises the northeastern part of Italy, and the Adriatic Sea and parts of the Alps and the Dinaric Mountains. The Apulian plate also includes southern Italy and southern Adriatic Sea, as well as parts of Sicily.
  • In Tibetan highlands south of the Tarim Basin a microplate ( " Tibetan plate " ) is suspected, which is pushed by the advancing Indian plate over the Eurasian Plate and this pushes it down.
