Eurasian Plate

The Eurasian Plate is a continental tectonic plate covering the continent of Europe and central Asia and extending westward to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

The easterly side is a boundary with the North American Plate to the north, a convergent boundary with the subducting Pacific Plate in the middle and a boundary with the Philippine Plate to the south.

The southerly side is a boundary with the African Plate to the west, the Arabian Plate in the middle and the Indo-Australian Plate to the east.

The westerly side is a divergent boundary with the North American Plate forming the northern most part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
