oceanic crust is the type of crust that is on the eurasian plate.
what type of crust is the eurasian plate?
oceanic crust
taiwan has a history of many strong earthquakes. the island is located within a complex zone of convergence between the philippine sea plate and eurasian plate. at the location of the earthquake, these plates converge at a rate of 75 mm per year. to the south of taiwan, oceanic crust of the eurasian plate is subducting beneath the philippine sea plate creating an island arc, the luzon arc. at taiwan the oceanic crust has all been subducted and the arc is colliding with continental crust of the eurasian plate. to the north of taiwan the philippine sea plate is in contrast subducting beneath the eurasian plate, forming the ryukyu arc.

research indicates that the anatolian plate is rotating counterclockwise as it is being pushed west by the arabian plate, impeded from any northerly movement by the eurasian plate. in some references, the anatolian plate is referred to as a "block" of continental crust still coupled to the eurasian plate. but studies of the north anatolian fault indicate that anatolia is de-coupled from the eurasian plate. it is now being squeezed by the arabian plate from the east and forced toward the west as the eurasian plate to its north is blocking motion in that direction. the african plate is subducting beneath the anatolian plate along the cyprus and hellenic arcs offshore in the mediterranean sea.
