[GPlates-discuss] plotting relative plate velocities

[Christoph v.Hagke]

Hi all,

I used the Zahirovic et al. model to extract plate velocities. I tried 
to create plots with relative plate movements, and followed the 
instructions from the tutorial. It worked mostly well, however I came 
across a couple of points:

Here my first plot, it shows convergence of Arabia and Eurasia. (It's 
based on an India-Eurasia-Convergence plot Sabin was kind enough to 
share, and which I could reproduce, too)


Looks great, but has these two excursions at 27 & 16 Ma, which I find 
geologically difficult. Is this an artifact? How would you deal with it?

Second, I tried to do the same plot for Arabia and India. Unfortunately 
sth went wrong here, and in the .xy export files it shows the wrong 
plate IDs. I tried it several times, but don't get it to work. Any idea 
is appreciated. Thanks and cheers,

Christoph
