Accurate plate-kinematic reconstructions at relatively highspatial and temporal resolution are the basis for understanding theopening of ocean basins and the evolution of seafloor relief and theeffect it has had on controlling deep ocean current directions. Wedeveloped an animated, grid-based plate-...
