Question

list all the major tectonic plates on earth what are the effect of plate drifting​

Answer 1

Answer:

Plate motions cause mountains to rise where plates push together, or converge, and continents to fracture and oceans to form where plates pull apart, or diverge. The continents are embedded in the plates and drift passively with them, which over millions of years results in significant changes in Earth's geography.

list of all major plates

Pacific Plate – An oceanic tectonic plate under the Pacific Ocean – 103,300,000 km2

North American Plate – Large tectonic plate including most of North America, Greenland and part of Siberia. – 75,900,000 km2

Eurasian Plate – A tectonic plate which includes most of the continent of Eurasia – 67,800,000 km2

African Plate – Tectonic plate underlying Africa west of the East African Rift – 61,300,000 km2

Antarctic Plate – A tectonic plate containing the continent of Antarctica and extending outward under the surrounding oceans – 60,900,000 km2

Indo-Australian Plate – A major tectonic plate formed by the fusion of the Indian and Australian plates – 58,900,000 km2 often considered two plates:

Australian Plate – A major tectonic plate, originally a part of the ancient continent of Gondwana – 47,000,000 km2

Indian Plate – Major Tectonic plate that got separated from Gondwana – 11,900,000 km2

South American Plate – Major tectonic plate which includes most of South America and a large part of the south Atlantic – 43,600,000 km2
