The Relative Motion of 'Hot Spots' in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans During the Cenozoic

Reconstructions of the Greenland, Eurasia, North America, Africa, South America and India plates to their relative position at the times of anomalies 13 (38 My) and 24 (60 My) imply relative motion of about 10–20 mm/yr among the principal ‘hot-spots’ in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans during the Ceno...
