My New Terra ...

[Naima]

Ok I have reached the drawing lines and dots point, but honestly I dunno how to simulate any motion onthat sphere in gplates, I can understand that I can "guess" directions and use the dots to draw lines in a more curved way , but how I do get the "working" movements? How do I know that my decision to make flow a continent on a direction is right or not?

I am posting the new and possibly latest version of my world , geography plain , with plates and the G plate sample .

Silouette


does it looks enough different from earth and natural ? How can I calculate the % of sea?

Geography



where are the mountain ranges, I have reduced some and scattered a bit mor from having all on a single coast side

The largeness of poles are due to projection they are actually smaller island / continents , wich will be covered in ice anyway .


Plates



here are the possible idea for the Major plates, I redraw reducing thenumber trying to get first the major plates and later the smaller ones ... I haven't added directions yet , but only possible openings dorsals because honestly I am not convinced at all on how I segmented the world .
Please feel free to "redraw" the plates I did as I am not convinced at all if are right ...



In Gplates



So is gplate only usefull for "deciding" how to draw curved lines and see where the continents go on a sphere?


Projection


Here perhaps is better to see the curvature and the equidistant projection .

After calculation the % of sea is 70 % just as I wanted .

perhaps this can help to identify better possible plates?
