Antarctic Plate boundary region

E806937

geologic region tectonic plate boundary zone

The Antarctic Plate boundary region is a geologically active zone encircling Antarctica where the Antarctic Plate interacts with neighboring tectonic plates, giving rise to features such as mid-ocean ridges, fracture zones, and subduction-related structures.
