The African Plate is a major tectonic plate straddling the equator as well as the prime meridian. It includes much of the continent of Africa, as well as oceanic crust which lies between the continent and various surrounding ocean ridges. Between 60 million years ago and 10 million years ago, the Somali Plate began rifting from the African Plate along the East African Rift.[2] Since the continent of Africa consists of crust from both the African and the Somali plates, some literature refers to the African Plate as the Nubian Plate to distinguish it from the continent as a whole.
<h2>Answer: Ireland </h2>
The Nordic countries are a geographical and cultural region comprising five northern European states and three autonomous regions:
The Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Denmark and Norway) plus Finland and Iceland that were included because of their geographical proximity and cultural origin. In addition, the autonomous regions of Faroe Islands and Greenland (belonging to Denmark) and Åland (belonging to Finland) are also included.
These countries have so much in common in terms of lifestyle, history, language, religious level and social structure; and their flags share in common the Scandinavian cross.
As we can see, Ireland does not appear on this list. Therefore it is not considered a Nordic country.
