“The fast motion of the Indian plate during this time interval has been a major tectonic puzzle because the velocities of subducting plates are limited by their available plate driving forces—ridge-push and slab-pull—and because plates with continents on them tend to move more slowly than purely oceanic plate”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
