Plates And Boundaries Map. Plate tectonics GEOGRAPHY MYP/GCSE/DP Tectonic plates are massive slabs of solid rock that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and move relative to one another To see the name of each plate or boundary type, hover over the map

Friction between the plates keeps them from sliding. These plates move and interact with one another to produce earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain ranges, ocean trenches and other geologic processes and features.
