GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The African Plate is a major tectonic plate that includes much of the continent of Africa (except for its easternmost part) and the adjacent oceanic crust to the west and south.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The African Plate is both oceanic and continental. It has the whole African continent on top of it as well as the oceanic crust of the Atlantic Ocean. There is a divergent boundary between the African plate and the North American Plate and the South American Plate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some plates are large enough to consist of both continental and oceanic crustal portions (e.g. the African or South American plates) whilst the Pacific Plate is almost entirely oceanic.

Detailed explanation-4: -The African Tectonic Plate represents one of the seven major plates found on Earth. The African Plate is comprised of both oceanic and continental crust representing the Atlantic Ocean and the continent of Africa. The African plate boundary consists of both convergent and divergent boundaries.

Detailed explanation-5: -Most plates are made of both oceanic and continental crust. An exception is the Pacific plate, which is nearly all oceanic crust. Oceanic crust (basaltic) is thinner and denser than thick and buoyant continental (granitic) crust.
