Global tectonics, Eurasian Plate C016 / 3724

Global tectonics. Satellite-based artwork of an Earth globe centred on the Eurasian Plate, one of Earths seven primary tectonic plates. Phenomena observed at the plate boundaries (red) 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. To the east are the Philippine Plate and Okhotsk Plate. To the south are the Arabian Plate and Indian Plate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Global tectonics, Eurasian Plate C016 / 3724" showcases the intricate dynamics of our planet's tectonic plates. The artwork, created using satellite imagery, provides a stunning visual representation of Earth with its focus on the Eurasian Plate – one of the seven primary tectonic plates that shape our world. Highlighted in red are the plate boundaries where various geological phenomena occur. These include earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and the formation of oceanic trenches. Such processes are vital for understanding how continents are created, destroyed, and drift over millions of years. The movement of these massive tectonic plates is believed to be driven by convection currents within Earth's mantle. To the east lie other significant plates such as the Philippine Plate and Okhotsk Plate while to the south we find both Arabian Plate and Indian Plate. This exquisite illustration beautifully captures not only Asia but also emphasizes how interconnected our oceans and continents truly are. With its white background contrasting against vibrant blues representing water bodies surrounding land masses, this image serves as a reminder of Earth's complex physical geography. Created by PLANETARY VISIONS LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY through satellite-based artwork techniques, this mesmerizing print offers an opportunity to appreciate nature's grandeur while deepening our understanding of plate tectonics' profound impact on our planet.
