Intraplaattinen
Intraplaattinen refers to geological processes and features that occur within a tectonic plate, as opposed to at its boundaries. While most dramatic geological activity, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, is associated with plate margins where plates interact, intraplate settings can also experience significant geological events and form distinctive landforms.
One common type of intraplate volcanism is found at hot spots. These are areas where plumes of
Intraplate earthquakes can also occur, though they are generally less frequent and less powerful than those
Other intraplate features include large-scale topographic features like the Shields, which are ancient, stable cratons that
