The Journey of Earth

The Eurasian plate is the third largest plate boundary covering most of Europe and Asia. It consists of mostly continental land mass - making up a total of 85% of the plate and connects to seven other plates.  It forms a divergent boundary between the Eurasian and North American plate - this is the very distinct Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

 

Notable Features:

• Himalayan Mountains: Very steep collection of mountains formed through a convergent boundary of the Eurasian and Indian plate. This started around 50 million years ago and continues to collide to this day. These mountains contain the very famous Mount Everest - the highest mountain reaching an altitude of 8848 met
