Hi, Kamron–
>> We predicted if this motion was present then the South East ridge would
shift to the South East. This is proved by the bow in the shift faults to the
SE if there is plate motion…see the bow showing progression of the location
of the shift fault towards the SE as it continues to form creating a bow. This
is the motion I said we need to find in these faults if there is motion
present.
I do not follow. The southeast Indian ridge I expect is doing no shifting
along the ridge, and is spreading perpendicular to the ridge. What do you mean
by bowing and why would it be expected?
