Parameters

name

name of tectonic plate, defaults to current page name

image

map image of tectonic plate

image_size

The image width in pixels. If specified, the maximum width is 280px. If not specified, the image uses frameless with upright=1.25 which displays it at approximately 125% of the user's default thumbnail size (for most users the image will display at 280px; for logged-in users who have changed the setting at Special:Preferences the displayed image could range from 150px to 500px). See also: Module:InfoboxImage, WP:AUTOSIZE, WP:EIS, WP:IMGSIZE, and MOS:IMGSIZE.

image_alt

see WP:ALT

caption

image caption

type

type (major, minor, historical)

coordinates

use {{Coord}}

area

approximate area in sq. km

move_direction

predominate direction of movement relative to African plate

move_speed

movement speed relative to African plate

geo_features

notable geographical features, such as continents, ocean basins, etc.
