Nubian Plate
|
Preamble
The Nubian Plate encompasses almost the entire African continent - save the eastern most portion. Not only is there a myriad of interactions between the Nubian Plate and adjacent plates, but its gross geographical size warrants a more detailed analysis. Therefore, it is necessary to divide it up into two sections: the North West Region and the South West Region (Figure 1). Click on the links below for the respective sections of the Nubian Plate: |
