Relative Motions Between Oceanic and Continental Plates in the Pacific Basin
Abstract
A model is presented for the displacement history between western North America, eastern Eurasia, and adjacent oceanic plates (Pacific, Farallon, Izanagi, Kula, and Phoenix) for the past 180 million years. The model is based on the assumption that the hotspots in the Atlantic region have remained fixed relative to the hotspots in the Pacific basin (but not necessarily relative to the spin axis). The model uses a new determination for relative motion between the oceanic plates of the Pacific basin.

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.
