NZL GNS GM11 plate motion site observations
This layer shows the observed and calculated velocities of active plate motions at selected surface locations in and around Te Riu-a-Māui / Zealandia. Velocities are shown relative to a fixed Australian Plate using the Global Strain Rate Model version 2.1. The layer was newly-compiled for, and is part of, the 'Tectonic map of Te Riu-a-Māui / Zealandia' 1:8 500 000 dataset.

- Purpose
-
Spatial representation of observed and calculated active surficial plate velocity vectors, in and around Te Riu-a-Māui / Zealandia, relative to a fixed Australian Plate. The layer is compiled for use at a scale of 1:8 500 000.

- Statement
-
The Global Strain Rate Model (GSRM) version 2.1 of Kreemer et al. (2014) was the principal information source for this layer. GSRM 2.1 itself relies on many local datasets and separate New Zealand plate motion vector sources are listed in Mortimer (2020). Plate motion information for various sites was captured as vector data using QGIS software in 2019. Subsequent attribution and verification was done by Nick Mortimer and Belinda Smith Lyttle in ArcGIS.
