between Europe and Asia (dividing Eurasia): along the Turkish Straits, the Caucasus and the Urals (historically also north of the Caucasus, along the Kuma–Manych Depression or along the Don River) between Asia and Africa (dividing Afro-Eurasia into Africa and Eurasia): at the Isthmus of Suez.

Answer:

Though Europe and Africa do not share any physical borders on the ground, the African plate meets the Eurasian plate in the middle of the Mediterranean sea.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The lighter African plate from the side of its extreme north has apparently subducted below the heavier Eurasian plate right in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
  • This subduction is believed to be so deep that the subduction boundary can no more be seen.
