The Scotia Plate, between South America and Antarctica, is bounded by active strike-slip faults that generate frequent earthquakes in the South Atlantic. The map above plots tectonic-plate boundaries alongside live earthquakes - zoom and pan to see how seismic activity traces the edges of the Scotia Plate. For instant alerts when a quake strikes near you, the free QuakeMate app sends real-time push notifications.
