World Map Part 10

 Only one timestep away from the start of the collision that will form the super continent. The nearly complete subduction of the MOR in the north has led to another microcontinent rifting off headed towards the red continent. Finally the subduction of the eastern oceanic crust has completed. I will be back soon with another update.

 So I updated a lot of the island arcs this time so that I would have a good estimate of their size going into all these collisions that will happen in the next few timesteps. The orange continent has been split in two by subduction pulling it towards different end locations. The subduction zone has expand to cover the coast to the south of the yellow craton's area. I will be back next week with another update.

 The continents are all moving towards the formation of a supercontinent. As a result pink has started subduct blue. Not much of note this time other than continued accretion of islands onto the mainlands. I will have next one ready by later this week.

 The collision in the north is nearing completion where the green craton is rifting off to finish closing the subduction zone. The northern and southern continents are now both moving towards a collision near the equator. The red continent is moving to catch up with others in the north as blue gradually moves west. I'll back again next week with another update.

  The main landmasses of the two northern continents have begun to collide now while the old eastern oceans are starting to be subducted. The microcontinent in the north is beginning to break up due to a subduction zone to its northwest. In the south the microcontinents have collided with mainland. The ocean between the teal and orange continents is starting to close in earnest down there as well. I should get the next part out later this week if all goes according to plan.
