Hi Dennyse,
The map shows the pattern of movement for the plates that make up Earth’s crust(Tectonic shift). There seems to be a pattern on the map in Australia, China, North America, South America, Siberia, Congo, Baltica, and Pannotia. Accordingly, Siberia in the map seems like shifting rightward piece by piece. My hypothesis why that pattern would occur is because of the intense heat in the Earth's core and molten rock moves in the mantle layer. After seeing this map, I have the following research questions “is the position by the magnitude and latitude may cause a Tectonic shift? Can Tectonic shift be controlled? And what is the impact of Tectonic shift?”
Thank you,
Best,
