Global tectonics, Eurasian Plate C016 / 0580
Global tectonics. Satellite-based artwork of an Earth globe centred on the Eurasian Plate. This is one of the seven primary tectonic plates that make up the Earths crust. Phenomena observed at the boundaries (red) between these plates include earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation. The movement of the tectonic plates over the millions of years of geologic time drives the creation, destruction and drifting of the continents. The movement of the tectonic plates is thought to be driven by convection currents in the underlying mantle

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and dynamic world of global tectonics, with a specific focus on the Eurasian Plate. The artwork, based on satellite imagery, presents an Earth globe centered on this significant tectonic plate. As one of the seven primary plates composing our planet's crust, the Eurasian Plate plays a crucial role in shaping our landscapes. The boundaries between these plates are highlighted in striking red hues, representing areas where various geological phenomena occur. These include earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building processes, and the formation of oceanic trenches. Over millions of years, the movement of these tectonic plates has driven both creation and destruction while causing continents to drift apart or come together. Scientists believe that convection currents within the underlying mantle propel this continuous motion of tectonic plates across geologic time. This mesmerizing image not only offers a glimpse into Earth's ever-changing nature but also serves as a reminder of how interconnected all aspects of our planet truly are. Created by PLANETARY VISIONS LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY through satellite-based technology and presented against a clean white background, this stunning illustration provides an opportunity for viewers to appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within Earth's geological systems.
