The 태평양판 (Pacific Plate) is one of the largest tectonic plates on Earth, covering a significant portion of the Pacific Ocean. It is primarily an oceanic plate, meaning it is mostly made up of oceanic crust. The plate is bordered by several other tectonic plates, including the 북미판 (North American Plate) and the 유라시아판 (Eurasian Plate), and is known for its role in various geological activities. The movement of the 태평양판 is responsible for many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, particularly around the 불의 고리 (Ring of Fire). This area is characterized by a high level of tectonic activity due to the interactions between the Pacific Plate and surrounding plates. Understanding the dynamics of the Pacific Plate is crucial for assessing geological hazards in the region.
