Plate Tectonics World Map - National Geographic. The Dynamic Earth wall map illustrates plate tectonics and features new
bathymetry and naturally colored relief, as well as volcano and
earthquake data through 2011. Like pieces of a giant jigsaw
puzzle, tectonic plates fit together to form the earth's outer shell.
The interaction of these plates causes earthquakes and volcanoes and
shapes the earth's crust into mountains, valleys and deep-sea trenches.
The Dynamic Earth map illustrates 17 major tectonic plates and
highlights diffuse plate boundaries, convergent boundaries, spreading
boundaries, fault zones, hot spots, notable earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions of the 20th and 21st centuries, earthquakes with a magnitude
of greater than 6.5 during the 20th and early 21st centuries, and
notable volcanic eruptions during the past 10,000 years.
