| Zusammenfassung |
| Recently, Kreemer (2009) presented a new absolute plate motion model (GSRM-APM-1) that
is based on the alignment between present-day surface motions (mainly from geodesy) and
orientations of shear wave (SKS) splitting underneath cratons and oceanic islands. The
average data misfit is 19° and 24° degrees for oceanic and cratonic areas, respectively, but the
normalized root-mean-square misfits are about equal at 5.4 and 5.2. While this model fits
independent hotspot propagation directions very well ( |
