    Hai's pretty much our expert on these things, along with a few others, so what he/they say I'd take heed. What I see are 2 super continents - the bottom one is solid but apparently shrinking in on itself; the top one is expanding outward toward the equator; the wrap-around one (on both sides of the image) is moving northward; middle left plate is moving south; central plate is moving north; the wrap-around ocean plate is moving south; left ocean plate is moving north; central ocean plate is moving south; and bottom ocean plate is moving north. 2 land plates and 2 ocean plates move north while everything else moves south, where the south pole plate shrinks in on itself. You have some basics here to work with but maybe a redraw might be in order to refine some things.

    Actually, I just have a basic layman's understanding of Geophysics from reading some intro textbooks on physical geography and Wikipedia. (And the background in GIS and Non-Euclidean Geometry to help me put it in context) So I certainly wouldn't call myself an expert, at least not in this field.
