Microplate Motion

Microplate Motion is a geological phenomenon denoting the relative displacement of small, rigid segments of the Earth's lithosphere—bounded by tectonic plate boundaries—that exhibit distinct kinematic behavior compared to neighboring major plates within the broader framework of plate tectonics.
