Image:Tectonic plates.png thumb|300px|{{legend|#8cad8e|The Eurasian plate, shown in green}} The '''Eurasian Plate''' is a tectonic plate covering Eurasia (a landmass consisting of the continents Europe and Asia) except that it does not cover the Indian subcontinent, the Arabian subcontinent, and the area east of the Verkhoyansk Range in East Siberia. It extends westward to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The easterly side is a boundary with the North American Plate to the north and a boundary with the Philippine Plate to the south, and possibly with the Okhotsk Plate and the Amurian Plate. 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 northernmost part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It is the 3rd largest tectonic plate. {{Geology-stub}} Category:Plate tectonics de:Eurasische Platte es:Placa Euroasiática pl:PÅ‚yta Eurazjatycka pt:Placa Euroasiática ru:ЕвразийÑ?каÑ? плита zh:æ­?亞大陸æ?¿å¡Š see Eurasian Plate
