Tectonic Plates with Topography, Eastern Hemisphere


Image from National Geophysical Data Center

This map is configured to show the shape and plate tectonics of the eastern hemisphere to advantage. The yellow lines depict only the spreading centers and trenches, so not all of the plate boundaries are here (see the plate outline map for those). For more details about the plates, see the plate boundaries map for the eastern hemisphere.
