Plate kinematic evidence for the existence of a distinct plate between the Nubian and Somalian plates along the Southwest Indian Ridge

Previously, we estimated the angular velocity of the Nubian plate relative to the Somalian plate from an updated set of spreading rates and transform fault azimuths. We found that the Nubia‐Somalia plate boundary intersects the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) between ≈26°E and ≈32°E if both the Nubian...
