The Afar, the junction point of three tectonic plates, the Arabic plate, the Somali plate and the African plate, is visible at the top right along the Red Sea.

Shuttle Challenger and Himalayas 10/1984 - Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau with shuttle Challenger - Part of the Himalayas and Tibet Plateau seen by Shuttle Challenger in October 1984. The Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau (also known as the Qinghai - Xizang Plateau) shown in this photograph were formed and continue to be modified by the convergent collision of two of the world's great continental tectonic plates, the Eurasian and the Indian - Australian. Towards the horizon, hazy and dusty conditions seem to exist on the Indo - Gangetic Plain of northern India (southwest) and the Takla Makan Desert of western China (northwest)

Aegean Sea from the shuttle Atlantis - 09/2000 - Aegean Sea from the space shuttle Atlantis 09/2000 - The Aegean Sea, with Greece and Turkey, seen by the shuttle Atlantis on 09/09/2000. Crete (foreground), the Cyclades Islands, Greece and Turkey lie along the margin of the Eurasian and African tectonic plates; Africa is moving northward and being driven down beneath Eurasia. As a result volcanic islands, such as Santorini, develop and fault - bounded basin such, as the Gulf of Corinth, are formed. In addition, lavas and sediments that were originally deposited on the Mediterranean seafloor are uplifted and deformed

Mount Everest seen from space - Mount Everest seen from space - Part of the Himalayan chain with Mount Everest (in the center), on the border between China and Nepal, observed by the shuttle Endeavour in February 2000. Mt. Everest (29,028 ft/8848 m; center of photo), also called Qomolangma Feng, is just north of the border between Nepal and China. The Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau are products of the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. With the continuing northward march of India, the crust of the Earth has become thicker and the Tibetan Plateau has been uplifted to an average elevation of about 15,000 feet. Image taken by astronauts in the space shuttle Endeavour in february 2000

India 70 million years ago - Artist's view - Late Cretaceous India - India seen in the upper cretace about 70 million years ago. The north is upstairs. To the west, Madagascar separates from India. This is how the Indian subcontinent may have appeared 70 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. Looking north, immediately to India's west is the island continent of Madagascar and further west is the eastern coast of southern Africa. In the distant past India and Madagascar formed a single continent, however India was part of a separate tectonic plate that subsequently began to drift northward. This northward motion (covering about 8 inches per year making it among the fastest on the Earth's lithosphere) split India from Madagascar and carried it north across the Tethys Ocean until it collided with Eurasia about 50 to 35 million years ago. This collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates joined India to South Asia and created the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalaya Mountains, a process which is still evolving to this day — India 70 million years ago - Artist's view - Late Cretaceous India - India seen in the upper cretace about 70 million years ago.

ETNA (Sicily) - seen by Aqua 28/10/2002 - 28/10/2002 The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured this true - color image of the ongoing eruption of Europe's largest and most active volcano, Mt. Etna, on the island of Sicily. The volcano's thermal signature was detected by MODIS and is marked with a red overlay. On the northern slopes of the volcano, the thermal signature is possibly a second lava flow. A dense plume of what is likely ash and smoke is streaming southward from the volcano and out over the Mediterranean Sea. According to news reports, at least two lava flows were still streaming down the summit's flanks as of Monday, October 28, but the flows had not come far enough down the mountain to affect any towns or villages. The lava did topple some ski resort facilities and power lines. Regional airports were closed when the ash and smoke decreased visibility to unsafe levels. Etna is one of the most studied volcanoes on Earth, and just last summer, French scientists reported that Etna appeared to be undergoing a gradual shift from being a hot spot”” volcano, in which magma wells up from within the Earth, to an “” island arc””” volcano, in which magma is produced from the collision of tectonic plates. In keeping with that idea, this most recent eruption occurred after a series of hundreds of small earthquakes affected eastern Sicily. Unfortunately for area residents, the transition from a hot - spot volcano to a island - arc volcano signals the potential for greater danger, as the latter produces explosive, as opposed to oozing, eruptions.
