Arito Plate



The Arito Plate is a minor tectonic plate that covers all of Aritonesia. The plate is covered by the to the east, the  to the west, the  to the south east AND the  to the south. The plate's motion is moving to the west from the main North American continent and moving upwards.

The Arito plate is considered to be the most unstable tectonic plate due to the mantle of the plate being extremely mushy. Because of this, it is prone to earthquakes and two major earthquakes, the first in 1471 and the second in 1742, caused Aritonesia, once a subcontinent, to sink around 100 meters below sea level and 30 meters below sea level respectively.
