Tectonic Map Of The World. The fifteen tectonic plates are. California is located at the seam of the Pacific Plate which is the worlds largest plate at 39768522 square miles and the Northern American plate. Before the full elaboration then acceptance of the paradigm of plate tectonics.

This map is currently undergoing a revision. Scale 15 000 000. English version issued in 1997.

Tectonic Plates are of two types namely oceanic crust and continental crust that differ in composition. Geological similar tectonic domains can exhibit distinct differences in satellite gravity gradients maps which point to differences in the lithosphere the solid crust and the molten mantle beneath. The World Atlas names seven major plates.

The printed version of this map is out of print. A globe is a map. The tectonic plates of the world were mapped in the second half of the 20th century.
