[GPlates-discuss] relative plate velocities

Hi Claudio,

I don't think that's possible since I believe it would require two different anchored plates. Visualising velocities relative to a plate requires that particular plate be set as the anchored plate (so two relative velocities needs two anchored plates).

Regards,
John

Subject: [GPlates-discuss] relative plate velocities

Hi all,
I’m working with GPlates on plate reconstructions in the European reference frame (reconstruction >>> specify anchored plate Id >>> 301). I would like to visualize in the same project the relative velocity vectors between different pairs of plates.  For example, I created the Mid Atlantic Ridge, a synthetic Iberia – Eurasia plate boundary and the associated calculated velocity fields but I don’t know how to visualize together on the screen, at the same time, the Iberia – North America and Iberia – Eurasia velocity vectors. Is it possible?

Thank you for your help

cheers
Claudio
