eurasian plate









































the eurasian plate is a tectonic plate which includes most of the continent of eurasia (a landmass consisting of the traditional continents of europe and asia), with the notable exceptions of the indian subcontinent, the arabian subcontinent, and the area east of the chersky range in east siberia. it also includes oceanic crust extending westward to the mid-atlantic ridge and northward to the gakkel ridge.

section::::tectonic plate boundaries.:transform plate boundary.









































a transform-fault boundary, or simply a transform boundary is where two plates will slide past each other, and the irregular pattern of their edges may catch on each other. the lithosphere is neither added to from the asthenosphere nor is it destroyed as in convergent plate action. for example, along the san andreas fault strike-slip fault zone, the pacific tectonic plate has been moving along at about 5 cm/yr in a northwesterly direction, whereas the north american plate is moving south-easterly.
