World Map Part 7


 The collision in the north is nearing completion where the green craton is rifting off to finish closing the subduction zone.

I'll back again next week with another update.

The northern subduction zones are continuing to create a complex series of accreted and rifting microcontinents. I hope to get the next time step up soon.

The ocean to the west of red continent has begun to be subducted to allow for movement of a microcontinent in the north. Since almost all of plates are on the other side of the world going forward it be viewed another angle.
