Popis: A key achievement of compilation of the Tectonic Map of the Arctic is a creation of a modern plate-tectonic model of the Circumpolar Arctic. This model demonstrates that the Arctic structure is determined by interaction of three lithosphere plates: two continental—North American and Eurasian—and one oceanic—namely Pacific. Modern seismicity serves as an indicator of tectonic processes and outlines boundaries of lithosphere plates.
