The 'Explorer Ridge' is a
tectonic spreading center located off the coasts of the province of
British Columbia in
Canada. To its east is the
Explorer Plate, which together with the
Juan de Fuca Plate and the
Gorda Plate to its south, is what remains of the once-vast
Farallon Plate which has been largely subducted under the
North American Plate. To its west is the
Pacific Plate.
