Are the three major plates that border the South American Plate. The Nazca Plate is subducting under the South American Plate. The boundary between the African Plate and the South American Plate is a divergent boundary. The South American Plate is moving at more than 15 cm/yr. 1. The center of the South American Plate is the city of Brazilla, in Brazil.
Africa was the center of Pangaea. South America, Antarctica and India broke away from it leaving it surrounded on three sides by divergent plate boundaries. Only on the north is Africa converging on other plates. The earth has two kinds of crust. The continents are mostly made of thick granite. When continents pull apart, the gap is filled by thin crust made of basalt. In plate tectonics, a continent is any piece of continental crust surrounded by oceanic crust or plate boundaries. Madagascar is a continent. When Africa and eastern Gondwanaland (India, Antarctica and Australia) began to pull apart about 120 million years ago, Madagascar originally moved as part of eastern Gondwanaland.
