This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox tectonic plate.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses Lua:

Usage

{{Infobox tectonic plate
| name           = 
| image          = 
| image_size     = 
| image_alt      = 
| caption        = 
| type           = 
| coordinates    = <!-- {{Coord|LAT|LON}} -->
| area           = 
| move_direction = 
| move_speed     = 
| geo_features   = 
}}

Parameters

name: name of tectonic plate, defaults to current page name
image: map image of tectonic plate
image_size: The image width in pixels. If specified, the maximum width is 280px. If not specified, the image uses frameless with upright=1.25 which displays it at approximately 125% of the user's default thumbnail size (for most users the image will display at 280px; for logged-in users who have changed the setting at Special:Preferences the displayed image could range from 150px to 500px). See also: Module:InfoboxImage, WP:AUTOSIZE, WP:EIS, WP:IMGSIZE, and MOS:IMGSIZE.
image_alt: see WP:ALT
caption: image caption
type: type (major, minor, historical)
coordinates: use {{Coord}}
area: approximate area in sq. km
move_direction: predominate direction of movement relative to African plate
move_speed: movement speed relative to African plate
geo_features: notable geographical features, such as continents, ocean basins, etc.

Examples

{{Infobox tectonic plate
| name = Eurasian plate
| image = EurasianPlate.png
| image_size = <!-- omitted to display at user's default size -->
| type = [[List of tectonic plates#Major plates|Major]]
| area = {{convert|67,800,000|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}
| move_direction = south
| move_speed = {{convert|7|-|14|mm|in|abbr=on}}/year
| geo_features = Europe, Asia, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean
}}
