Mapping an Earthlike planet

[Akubra]

I like the way you strive for perfectionism. Each version is a thoughtful improvement on the previous one.

Thanks Pixie!

if you have the divergent boundary in an ocean unsymmetrical you normally explain the missing crust on one side with subduction (like pacific ridge vs. south america) - Akua plate you can get away as it is rather small, but for the boundaries east and west of Nohhon... hmm...

I understand. So what you are saying is that I should either change the location of the boundary, i.e. more towards the centre of the ocean, or change the nature of the boundary (which means changing the direction and/or velocity of the plates)? I'll see what I can do about it.

when you change the curvature of oceanic subduction, you are changing which side is sinking

I'll check my subduction zones against their counterparts on Earth.

Meanwhile, as promised yesterday, here is a rough outline of the mountain zones I'd like to have:



Blue: mountains being created by convergent boundaries
Red: volcanic zones (on land) created by divergent boundaries
Black: mountains created by past plate collisions (it looks like I have created a lot of coastal mountains...)
