Difference between Plate tectonics and Shetland Plate

Plate tectonics vs. Shetland Plate

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago. The Shetland Plate is a tectonic microplate located off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula and contains the South Shetland Islands.

Similarities between Plate tectonics and Shetland Plate

Plate tectonics and Shetland Plate have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antarctic Plate, Back-arc basin, Earthquake, Mid-ocean ridge, Oceanic trench, Plate tectonics, Scotia Plate, Subduction, Tectonophysics (journal).

Antarctic Plate

The Antarctic Plate is a tectonic plate containing the continent of Antarctica and extending outward under the surrounding oceans.

Back-arc basin

Back-arc basins are geologic basins, submarine features associated with island arcs and subduction zones.

Earthquake

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.

Mid-ocean ridge

A mid-ocean ridge (MOR) is an underwater mountain system formed by plate tectonics.

Oceanic trench

Oceanic trenches are topographic depressions of the sea floor, relatively narrow in width, but very long.

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.

Scotia Plate

The Scotia Plate is a tectonic plate on the edge of the South Atlantic and Southern Ocean.

Subduction

Subduction is a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another and is forced or sinks due to gravity into the mantle.

Tectonophysics (journal)

Tectonophysics, The International Journal of Geotectonics and the Geology and Physics of the Interior of the Earth is a weekly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Elsevier.
