Description: 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.
