			The '''Eurasian Plate''' is a [[tectonic plate]] which includes most of the continent of [[Eurasia]] (a landmass consisting of the traditional [[continent]]s of [[Europe]] and [[Asia]]), with the notable exceptions of the [[Indian subcontinent]], the [[Arabian Plate\|Arabian subcontinent]], and the area east of the [[Chersky Range]] in East [[Siberia]]. It also includes [[oceanic crust]] extending westward to the [[Mid-Atlantic Ridge]] and northward to the [[Gakkel Ridge]].

			The eastern side is a boundary with the [[North American Plate]] to the north and a boundary with the [[Philippine Sea Plate]] to the south and possibly with the [[Okhotsk Plate]] and the [[Amurian Plate]]. The southerly side is a boundary with the [[African Plate]] to the west, the [[Arabian Plate]] in the middle and the [[Indo-Australian Plate]] to the east. The westerly side is a [[divergent boundary]] with the North American Plate forming the northernmost part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is straddled by [[Iceland]]. All volcanic eruptions in Iceland, such as the 1973 eruption of [[Eldfell]], the 1783 eruption of [[Laki]], and the 2010 eruption of [[Eyjafjallajökull]], are caused by the North American and the Eurasian Plates moving apart, which is a result of [[divergent boundary\|divergent]] plate boundary forces. The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate, which began 50 million years ago and continues today.

			The geodynamics of central Asia is dominated by the interaction between the Eurasian and [[Indian Plate]]s. In this area, many subplates or crust blocks have been recognized, which form the [[Central Asian]] and the [[East Asian]] transit zones.<ref>"Up-to-Date Geodynamics and Seismicity of Central Asia" by Y. Gatinsky, D. Rundquist, G. Vladova, T. Prokhodova</ref>
