Summary
Description Motion of Nubia Plate.gif |
English:
Techtonic motion of
Nubia Plate
relative to the no-net-rotation reference frame. The data of the coordinates of the plate boundaries and the estimated angular velocity of the plates is taken from
NNR-MORVEL56
[1]
. Coastlines are drawn with Natural Earth
[2]
(1:110m land polygons), which is available as public domain data.
Be aware that this animation is a mere representation of the current velocity of the techtonic plates and not a prediction of the exact positions or velocity of them in the future.
