The Baltic Plate was an ancient tectonic plate that existed during the Carboniferous period. The Baltic Plate collided against Eurasia, to form the Ural Mountains about 500 million years ago. The Baltic Pate, however, fused onto the Eurasian Plate when the Baltic Plate collided against Eurasia, when the Ural Mountains were completely formed. The Baltic Plate contained Baltica and the Baltic Shield which is now located in Norway, Sweden and Finland.
