Key plates:
Eurasian
African
Indo-Australian
Pacific
Nazca

While scientists
do not fully
understand the
forces that
move the
plates, it is
believed that
the moving
material in the
asthenosphere
drags the plates
along.
What Are
the
Results of
Tectonic
Plate
Motion?
Each plate
moves as a
distinct unit.
The borders
between
plates are
called plate
boundaries.
