The phrase "adjacent plates" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to geography, geology, or any field discussing objects or entities that are next to each other.
Example: "The tectonic activity is primarily influenced by the movement of adjacent plates along the fault line."
Alternatives: "neighboring plates" or "contiguous plates".
The diagram shows a plate adjacency graph where the lines connect the vertices corresponding to adjacent plates; however, there are four extra lines in the diagram.
A narrow channel exists between any two adjacent plates of the structure.
The plates cannot be arranged in a circle so that the sum of every set of adjacent plates is a perfect square.
Anchors commonly have more than one plate or bearing element and therefore there is a complex interaction between adjacent plates due to overlapping stress zones.
The latter stereom type corresponds to the external ribbed ornament of the theca, and is indicative of collagenous sutural fibers for binding adjacent plates.
For the low relative contrast zones, both thicker and thinner lamellar variants in adjacent plates are distributed symmetrically across their inter-plate interfaces (along the substrate edges).
Variations in intraplate stress through time can be related, to some degree at least, to tectonic events occurring on the cratonic margins and on other adjacent plate margins.
Finite element eigenvalue buckling analysis is performed to verify the assumed simply supported boundary conditions for common edges between adjacent plate elements.
The results show that the surface absorption is effective for reduction of the radiated sound field, especially in the area that increase of sound pressure due to reflection by adjacent plate girders is observed.
In the 6 September issue of Nature, seismologist Phil Cummins of Geoscience Australia in Canberra argues that the Indian tectonic plate is not harmlessly sliding by the adjacent plate along a fault far inland in Myanmar, as previously assumed.
Adjacent plate wells with identical treatment were trypsinized, diluted and counted with a hemocytometer to normalize the extraction results.
