Major Tectonic Plates of the World

Antarctic Plate

The Antarctic Plate is a tectonic plate covering the continent of Antarctica and extending outward under the surrounding oceans. The Antarctic Plate has a boundary with the Nazca Plate, the South American Plate, the African Plate, the Indo-Australian Plate, the Scotia Plate and a divergent boundary with the Pacific Plate forming the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge.

The Antarctic plate is roughly 16,900,000 square kilometers. It is the fifth biggest plate in the world. The Antarctic plate movement is estimated at least 1 centimeter/per year towards the Atlantic Ocean.
