The New Global Tectonic Map
This map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “JPVD-NGTM2023-Comp2.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This Map is extracted from the publically available Google MyMaps Map which was launched in 2023. It is an Appendix to the publication of van Dijk (2023) and shows the tectonic elements (faults, thrusts, subduction zones, passive margins, rift zones, sutures) of the Earth and the subdivision into 1.180 Plates, also called "Terranes". These are divided into 3 domains: Continental Blocks, Oceanic Plates, and Mobile Zones.

Legend: Green: Terrane (microplate) boundaries in the Continental Blocks, Cyan: Terranes of the Oceanic Plates, Orange: terranes inside the Mobile Belts, Blue: Oceanic transform faults; Red: Fault zones in the Continental and Mountain belt domain; Purple: Main subduction zones and suture zones; Orange dots: volcanoes. The related scientific publication is: van Dijk, J.P. (2023); The New Global Tectonic Map - Analyses and Implications. Terra Nova, 2023, 27 pp. https://doi.org/10.1111/ter.12662. The Map is available at: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1dXnQlelic4WjA4xKnYFL3F-0_BtzltY&ll.
