Earth's seafloor age, which varies between 0 and around 200 Ma, after global oceanic-plate age data from Müller et al. (1997) shared via s-ink.org.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Map of the age of oceanic plates, which varies between 0 and around 200 Ma due to ongoing plate motion and recycling (i.e., ocean-plate tectonics). Global ocean-plate age data from Müller et al. (1997) visualised on a custom Interrupted Mollweide map projection from Crameri et al. (2020) focussing on the World’s oceans. Black lines represent tectonic plate boundaries with bold lines outlining convergent margins. Dark triangles represent active and inactive volcanoes as compiled in the NCEI Volcano Location Database. The colour-blind friendly Scientific colour map ‘batlow‘ is used to represent data accurately and to all readers.
Deutsch: Karte des Alters der ozeanischen Platten, das aufgrund der fortwährenden Plattenbewegung und des Recyclings (d.h. ozeanischer Plattentektonik) zwischen 0 und etwa 200 Ma schwankt. Globale Daten zum Alter der Meeresplatten von Müller et al. (1997) visualisiert auf einer benutzerdefinierten Interrupted Mollweide-Kartenprojektion von Crameri et al. (2020) mit Fokus auf die Weltmeere. Schwarze Linien stellen die Grenzen tektonischer Platten dar, während fette Linien konvergierende Ränder markieren. Dunkle Dreiecke stellen aktive und inaktive Vulkane dar, wie in der NCEI Volcano Location Database zusammengestellt. Die farbenblinde, wissenschaftliche Farbskala „batlow“ wird verwendet, um Daten präzise und für alle Leser darzustellen.
