    I'm no geologist (or Teutonic expert... ), but something about the movement(s) of your plates doesn't seem right to me. They all seem to be 'chasing' each other, moving in the same direction. There's hardly any spots where they are either separating, colliding, or sliding against each other, so how, for example, is that massive island chain in the west being created?

    On the other hand, I do like the actual layout of the landmasses themselves quite a bit.

    Lol I'm sorry to admit but I'm pretty poorly versed in teutonics myself

    Do you mean to take in account something like mantle's circular movement underneath each plate?

    I'll rework it on a sphere and a gnomonic projection map and try again tomorrow.

    Thanks for your comment

    P.S. Wow. Love your maps. Which program do you use?

    Thank you. I use Photoshop CS2 (soon to be CS6).
