🌋 Tectonic Plate Drift Calculator

🌋 Tectonic Plate Drift Calculator

The ground under you is moving right now. Pick a place and its tectonic plate and this rotates it about the plate's Euler pole — the real way plate motion is described — to give the present-day speed and direction in mm per year, and where that spot sits after any span of geological time you like.
