Answer:

Eurasian, continental

Step-by-step explanation:

Tectonic plates are large semi-rigid rock blocks that make up the earth's crust, either in the ocean (oceanic plates) or on the earth (continental plates). The Earth is divided into fourteen major tectonic plates, the largest of which is the Euroasia Plate, a continental plate that has 100 million square kilometers, formed by Europe, the northern Atlantic region, the Mediterranean Sea and the Asian continent.
