Balmoral Reef Plate

The Balmoral Reef Plate is a small tectonic plate (microplate) located in the south Pacific north of Fiji. Clockwise from the north, it borders the Pacific Plate, Australian Plate, Conway Reef Plate, and the New Hebrides Plate. The northern and western borders are a divergent boundary while the rest of the borders are transform and convergent boundaries.

    Say “Yessum” to the ladies, an’ “Yessur” to the men,

    Jes ‘fore Christmas be as good as yer kin be!
