Map showing Earth's principal tectonic plates and their boundaries in detail. These plates comprise the bulk of the continents and the Pacific Ocean.For purposes of this list, a major plate is any plate with an area greater than 20 million km 2 (7.7 million sq mi)

Bathymetry of the North American plate and Caribbean plate boundary zone showing the major features of the Puerto Rico-Virgin Island Microplate: the Puerto Rico Trench to the north; the Muertos Trough the south; the Anegada Trough and Virgin Islands Basin within the Anegada Passage to the east; and the Mona Canyon within the Mona Passage to the ...
Some fracture zones such as Chile and Valdivia make up large sections of the Nazca-Antarctic plate boundary. Map of the Chile Rise and its fracture zones in Nazca and the Antarctic plates Active Pacific Ocean fracture zones are perpendicular to the mid-ocean ridges (black lines) in orange shaded region.

These are also known as compressional or destructive boundaries. Obduction zones occurs when the continental plate is pushed under the oceanic plate, but this is unusual as the relative densities of the tectonic plates favours subduction of the oceanic plate. This causes the oceanic plate to buckle and usually results in a new mid-ocean ridge ...
