I'm not sure if this thread is still active, but could someone please help me with this?
I've got three maps of the same world here, which isn't yet complete; I still have a bit of the tectonics to work out, and then islands to plot. The first map shows simply the topography of the world, and I'd like to request, if it isn't too much trouble, some advice on how the climate would work. The weakest brown colour shows general uland ares, the stronger brown colour significant mountain ranges or extrmely elevated areas, and the strongest brown colour extremely tall mountains; greater than 5000m or so.
The second and third maps shows, respectively, plate boundaries and movements and the possible locations of island chains. For the second map, I'd like to know if, in general, my plate boundaries look reasonable, and if the movements are the same. It should be noted that the boundary in the far southeastern continent has only just formed; imagine the East African Rift in a few million years.
As for the bit in the Northeast, that takes some explaining. A lot of maps I've seen of the period from 250-150 mya show pieces of land detaching themselves from Gondwana and drifting north across the Tethys to collide with the Siberian plate, forming modern day China, Kazakhstan and Iran, among others. I was trying to get something similar to appear to be occurring, but I don't know how to draw it in plate boundary terms. Could anyone help me?
Finally, I'd like to see if my proposed spots for islands, either from oceanic subduction or from hotspots, look any good.
Thanks
