Tectonic Plates Map, Pangea Map and Printable World Maps
Tectonic plates, Pangea, ocean currents and printable blank maps you can zoom, layer and print. Every map is drawn from open scientific data, with sources listed under each one.
- Plate colors. The Earth's outer layer is broken into moving plates that carry the continents and oceans. Each plate gets one color, and no two neighbors share a color. Source
- Divergent boundary. Plates pull away from each other and new crust forms between them. Source
- Convergent boundary. Plates move toward each other and crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. Source
- Transform boundary. Plates slide horizontally past each other. Crust is neither made nor destroyed. Source
