Global tectonics, Pacific Plate C016 / 0582
Global tectonics. Satellite-based artwork of an Earth globe centred on the Pacific Plate. This is one of the seven primary tectonic plates that make up the Earths crust. Phenomena observed at the boundaries (red) between these plates include earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation. The movement of the tectonic plates over the millions of years of geologic time drives the creation, destruction and drifting of the continents. The movement of the tectonic plates is thought to be driven by convection currents in the underlying mantle

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Global Tectonics, Pacific Plate C016 / 0582" showcases the intricate beauty and power of our planet's tectonic plates. The artwork presents an Earth globe centered on the Pacific Plate, one of the seven primary tectonic plates that form the Earth's crust. Highlighted in red are the boundaries between these plates, where a myriad of natural phenomena occur. These include earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation. Such events shape our world and contribute to its ever-changing landscape. Over millions of years of geologic time, the movement of these tectonic plates drives both creation and destruction while causing continents to drift apart or come together. This continuous motion is believed to be propelled by convection currents within the underlying mantle. The image itself features a white background with a spherical representation of Earth suspended like a ball. It encapsulates not only geography and geology but also symbolizes our planet's interconnectedness through landmasses and vast bodies of water such as the Pacific Ocean. Created by Planet Visions Ltd/Science Photo Library using satellite-based technology, this artwork provides us with a unique perspective on plate tectonics. It serves as a reminder that even though we may perceive our world as stable and unchanging, it is in fact constantly evolving beneath our feet.
